# Arbiter vs V

The clearest difference is rating: V at 5.0 against Arbiter's 4.4. Arbiter's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 1) and chart position (#64 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

V holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arbiter has 1.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Arbiter ships an update fortnightly, V weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 9, 2026 respectively.
