# Plug AI vs AURA AI

Plug AI and AURA AI both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 61% of AURA AI's written reviews are positive against 27% of Plug AI's. Plug AI's advantage is ratings volume (16K vs 244) and chart position (#115 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Plug AI sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and AURA AI sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Plug AI against 4.5 for AURA AI. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Plug AI has 16K ratings behind it against 244, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 27% of Plug AI's written reviews are positive against 61% of AURA AI's.

Plug AI ships an update weekly, AURA AI every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
