# Finalist vs EVAA.AI

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EVAA.AI at none against Finalist's 7. EVAA.AI also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Finalist's advantage is ratings volume (504 vs 2) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 5 weeks). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Finalist sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. EVAA.AI asks for nothing beyond the download.

EVAA.AI holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Finalist has 504 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Finalist ships an update every 11 days, EVAA.AI every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
