# NOVA vs TripFeed

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TripFeed at 100% against NOVA's 37%. TripFeed 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 (#154 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

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

TripFeed 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 TripFeed's.

NOVA ships an update every 3 weeks, TripFeed daily. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
