# Simple CV vs CV Creator

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CV Creator at 100% against Simple CV's 33%. CV Creator also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). Simple CV's advantage is ratings volume (81 vs 6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Simple CV sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 6 months and CV Creator sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CV Creator holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple CV has 81 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of Simple CV's written reviews are positive against 100% of CV Creator's.

Simple CV ships an update fortnightly, CV Creator every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
