# VAST vs PolyGen

The clearest difference is review sentiment: VAST at 100% against PolyGen's 55%. VAST also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.0). PolyGen's advantage is ratings volume (47 vs 2) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VAST sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and PolyGen sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

VAST holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PolyGen has 47 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of VAST's written reviews are positive against 55% of PolyGen's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
