# VRoid Studio vs Vibe3D

The clearest difference is rating: VRoid Studio at 3.5 against Vibe3D's 2.0. VRoid Studio also leads on ratings volume (232 vs 2). Vibe3D's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VRoid Studio sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Vibe3D sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

VRoid Studio holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VRoid Studio has 232 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
