# Veracity vs Finder

The clearest difference is rating: Finder at 4.2 against Veracity's 2.2. Veracity's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 15 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Veracity sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Finder sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Finder holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 226 and 235 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Veracity's written reviews are positive against 20% of Finder's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Veracity ships an update monthly, Finder every 15 months. The most recent releases landed on August 15, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
