# VAPoly vs Teraverse

The clearest difference is price: Teraverse at $2.99 against VAPoly's $14.99. Teraverse also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (112 vs 16). VAPoly's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

VAPoly costs $14.99 and Teraverse $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

VAPoly holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Teraverse has 112 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of VAPoly's written reviews are positive against 83% of Teraverse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

VAPoly ships an update every 3 months, Teraverse every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
