# VALT vs URnetwork

The clearest difference is rating: URnetwork at 4.6 against VALT's 4.3. URnetwork also leads on ratings volume (303 vs 18). VALT's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 75%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VALT sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and URnetwork sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

URnetwork holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: URnetwork has 303 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of VALT's written reviews are positive against 75% of URnetwork's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
