# JoinLinks vs VolunVerse

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VolunVerse at none against JoinLinks's 3. VolunVerse also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 92%). JoinLinks's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (43 vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. JoinLinks sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. VolunVerse asks for nothing beyond the download.

JoinLinks holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JoinLinks has 43 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of JoinLinks's written reviews are positive against 100% of VolunVerse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

JoinLinks ships an update every 2 weeks, VolunVerse every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
