# aaPanel vs Bv Assistant

The clearest difference is rating: aaPanel at 5.0 against Bv Assistant's 4.5. aaPanel also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Bv Assistant's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (16 vs 2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bv Assistant sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. aaPanel asks for nothing beyond the download.
