# Half vs NugVue

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NugVue at none against Half's 1. NugVue also leads on ratings volume (80 vs 4) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). Half's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Half sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. NugVue asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Half against 4.9 for NugVue. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NugVue has 80 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Half's written reviews are positive against 98% of NugVue's.

Half ships an update every 5 days, NugVue every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
