# GV vs AXIS Installer

The clearest difference is rating: GV at 4.3 against AXIS Installer's 1.7. GV also leads on ratings volume (1.7K vs 6) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). AXIS Installer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

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

GV holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GV has 1.7K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of GV's written reviews are positive against 25% of AXIS Installer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

GV ships an update every 3 months, AXIS Installer monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
