# Multi vs Virtual Alfred

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Virtual Alfred at 100% against Multi's 64%. Virtual Alfred also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Multi's advantage is ratings volume (624 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Multi sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Virtual Alfred sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
