# Reliant vs My JV

The clearest difference is update cadence: Reliant at every 6 weeks against My JV's every 7 months. Reliant also leads on ratings volume (20K vs 2) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Reliant against 5.0 for My JV. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reliant has 20K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Reliant ships an update every 6 weeks, My JV every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 4, 2026 respectively.
