# Medly vs VoiSona

The clearest difference is update cadence: Medly at every 6 days against VoiSona's every 6 weeks. Medly also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (38K vs 138). VoiSona's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Medly sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and VoiSona sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Medly holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Medly has 38K ratings behind it against 138, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Medly's written reviews are positive against 77% of VoiSona's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Medly ships an update every 6 days, VoiSona every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
