# VirtualFriend vs Quizzanity

The clearest difference is update cadence: Quizzanity at every 10 months against VirtualFriend's every 24 months. VirtualFriend's advantage is ratings volume (21 vs 2). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VirtualFriend sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Quizzanity sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for VirtualFriend against 5.0 for Quizzanity. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VirtualFriend has 21 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

VirtualFriend ships an update every 24 months, Quizzanity every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
