# ShowPlay vs Vor Mobile

The clearest difference is price: Vor Mobile at Free against ShowPlay's $9.99. Vor Mobile also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 50%) and ratings volume (18 vs 1). ShowPlay's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On ads there is nothing between them.

Vor Mobile is free to download; ShowPlay costs $9.99 up front. Vor Mobile sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. ShowPlay asks for nothing beyond the download.

ShowPlay holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vor Mobile has 18 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of ShowPlay's written reviews are positive against 83% of Vor Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ShowPlay ships an update every 4 months, Vor Mobile every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
