# VR Photo vs Render

The clearest difference is rating: Render at 3.1 against VR Photo's 1.0. Render also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). VR Photo's advantage is price ($2.99 vs $9.99) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
