# VVTerm vs Conduit

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Conduit at none against VVTerm's 3. Conduit also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 days) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.1). VVTerm's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and chart position there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VVTerm sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.49 per month. Conduit asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for VVTerm against 5.0 for Conduit. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VVTerm has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

VVTerm ships an update every 6 days, Conduit every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
