# BiggerPockets vs Viridian

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Viridian at 100% against BiggerPockets's 58%. Viridian also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). BiggerPockets's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BiggerPockets sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $39.00 per month and Viridian sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Viridian holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BiggerPockets has 1.4K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 58% of BiggerPockets's written reviews are positive against 100% of Viridian's.

BiggerPockets ships an update fortnightly, Viridian every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
