# Analyzer vs VS

The clearest difference is price: Analyzer at $14.99 against VS's $49.99. Analyzer also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 17.0). VS's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 2.9). On review sentiment, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Analyzer costs $14.99 and VS $49.99 up front. Analyzer sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and VS sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

VS holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 11 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Analyzer's written reviews are positive against 40% of VS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Analyzer ships an update every 6 weeks, VS every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
