# GV vs CMS Mobile 4

The clearest difference is rating: CMS Mobile 4 at 5.0 against GV's 4.3. CMS Mobile 4 also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1). GV's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 4) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.5). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GV sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. CMS Mobile 4 asks for nothing beyond the download.
