# Product Hunt vs avec

Product Hunt and avec both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of avec's written reviews are positive against 64% of Product Hunt's. Product Hunt's advantage is ratings volume (3.8K vs 14) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

avec holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8.

Product Hunt ships an update every 9 days, avec every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
