# VIIO vs TempoBlocks

The clearest difference is ratings volume: VIIO at 1.2K against TempoBlocks's 1. VIIO also leads on device support (3 vs 1). TempoBlocks's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VIIO sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and TempoBlocks sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TempoBlocks holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VIIO has 1.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
