# Mini vs Vivace

The clearest difference is ads: Mini at none against Vivace's shown. Vivace's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mini sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Vivace sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mini ships an update every 2 weeks, Vivace every 3 days. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
