# Clue vs VectorDash

The clearest difference is price: VectorDash at Free against Clue's $4.99. VectorDash also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). Clue's advantage is chart position (#21 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.5). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

VectorDash is free to download; Clue costs $4.99 up front. Clue sells 26 one-off in-app purchases and VectorDash sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Clue ships an update every 2 months, VectorDash every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
