# ブイライフ vs Mini

The clearest difference is ads: ブイライフ at none against Mini's shown. ブイライフ also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 57%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Mini's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (45 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ブイライフ sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and Mini sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ブイライフ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mini has 45 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of ブイライフ's written reviews are positive against 57% of Mini's.

ブイライフ ships an update fortnightly, Mini every 2 days. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
