# Minervini Private Access vs Savvy Trader

The clearest difference is monetization model: Savvy Trader at free with in-app purchases against Minervini Private Access's subscription. Savvy Trader also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (645 vs 25). Minervini Private Access's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 89%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Minervini Private Access sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $999.99 per month and Savvy Trader sells 54 in-app purchases, starting at $5.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Savvy Trader holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Savvy Trader has 645 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Minervini Private Access's written reviews are positive against 89% of Savvy Trader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Minervini Private Access ships an update every 10 months, Savvy Trader weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
