# TheMarker vs V1

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: V1 at none against TheMarker's 12. V1 also leads on rating (4.2 vs 4.0). TheMarker's advantage is ratings volume (147 vs 24). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TheMarker sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. V1 asks for nothing beyond the download.

V1 holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TheMarker has 147 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of TheMarker's written reviews are positive against 40% of V1's.

TheMarker ships an update fortnightly, V1 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
