# Blower vs iVRy

The clearest difference is price: iVRy at Free against Blower's $1.99. iVRy also leads on review sentiment (72% vs 53%) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 9 months). Blower's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.9) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

iVRy is free to download; Blower costs $1.99 up front. iVRy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Blower asks for nothing beyond the download.

Blower holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blower has 1.3K ratings behind it against 150, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Blower's written reviews are positive against 72% of iVRy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Blower ships an update every 9 months, iVRy every 3 months. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
