# GLAZE vs Valid

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Valid at 12K against GLAZE's 24. Valid also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days) and chart position (#24 vs unranked). GLAZE's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 79%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.2). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GLAZE sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $59.99 per year and Valid sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $12.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GLAZE holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Valid has 12K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of GLAZE's written reviews are positive against 79% of Valid's.

GLAZE ships an update every 9 days, Valid every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
