# Gente vs La Verità

The clearest difference is review sentiment: La Verità at 60% against Gente's 16%. Gente's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.7) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gente sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and La Verità sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Gente holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 13 and 10 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of Gente's written reviews are positive against 60% of La Verità's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Gente ships an update every 5 months, La Verità every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
