# Akinator VIP vs QuizTime

Akinator VIP and QuizTime both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 58% of Akinator VIP's written reviews are positive against 11% of QuizTime's. Akinator VIP also leads on ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#29 vs unranked). QuizTime's advantage is price (Free vs $3.99) and ratings volume (62K vs 3.9K). On rating, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

QuizTime is free to download; Akinator VIP costs $3.99 up front. Akinator VIP sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and QuizTime sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Akinator VIP against 4.5 for QuizTime. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QuizTime has 62K ratings behind it against 3.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 58% of Akinator VIP's written reviews are positive against 11% of QuizTime's.

Akinator VIP ships an update every 4 weeks, QuizTime fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
