# Splice vs MV Master

The clearest difference is ads: Splice at none against MV Master's shown. Splice also leads on ratings volume (431K vs 1.9K) and chart position (#16 vs unranked). MV Master's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Splice sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and MV Master sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Splice against 4.6 for MV Master. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Splice has 431K ratings behind it against 1.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 71% of Splice's written reviews are positive against 65% of MV Master's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
