# Vicoa vs DevMate

The clearest difference is rating: Vicoa at 4.3 against DevMate's 3.4. Vicoa also leads on review sentiment (58% vs 33%) and ratings volume (26 vs 5). DevMate's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vicoa sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and DevMate sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
