# Stacklist vs VirtualBestie

The clearest difference is monetization model: VirtualBestie at free against Stacklist's free with in-app purchases. VirtualBestie also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 11 days). Stacklist's advantage is ratings volume (19 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stacklist sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.00 per month and VirtualBestie sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $20.00 per month. 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 Stacklist against 5.0 for VirtualBestie. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stacklist has 19 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Stacklist ships an update every 11 days, VirtualBestie every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
