# Victoria vs Antique Trader

The clearest difference is rating: Antique Trader at 5.0 against Victoria's 4.6. Victoria's advantage is ratings volume (224 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Victoria sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Antique Trader sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Antique Trader holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Victoria has 224 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
