# GV vs LILIN Pro

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GV at none against LILIN Pro's 3. GV also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 29%) and rating (3.0 vs 2.7). LILIN Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (12 vs 2). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LILIN Pro sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. GV asks for nothing beyond the download.

GV holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LILIN Pro has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of GV's written reviews are positive against 29% of LILIN Pro's.

GV ships an update every 8 months, LILIN Pro every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on June 4, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
