# Nova vs Reflect

The clearest difference is ads: Reflect at none against Nova's shown. Reflect also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). Nova's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nova sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Reflect sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $39.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Nova ships an update every 3 weeks, Reflect every 2 days. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
