# Deck vs JoinVia

Deck and JoinVia are too close to call on the numbers: across 6 compared parameters — price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.

Both are free to download. Deck sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per year and JoinVia sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Deck ships an update weekly, JoinVia every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
