# NOVA vs Blueprint Stan Experience

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Blueprint Stan Experience at 100% against NOVA's 37%. Blueprint Stan Experience also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). NOVA's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 4) and chart position (#126 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NOVA sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Blueprint Stan Experience asks for nothing beyond the download.

Blueprint Stan Experience holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NOVA has 1.2K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 37% of NOVA's written reviews are positive against 100% of Blueprint Stan Experience's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 24, 2026 respectively.
