# iValuta vs Banknote ID

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iValuta at none against Banknote ID's 10. iValuta also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (70% vs 38%). Banknote ID's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (209 vs 2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Banknote ID sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. iValuta asks for nothing beyond the download.

Banknote ID holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Banknote ID has 209 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of iValuta's written reviews are positive against 38% of Banknote ID's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iValuta ships an update every 11 months, Banknote ID every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
