# Reality Augmented (VR) vs Mobile VR Station®

The clearest difference is rating: Reality Augmented (VR) at 4.3 against Mobile VR Station®'s 4.1. Mobile VR Station®'s advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reality Augmented (VR) sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Mobile VR Station® sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Reality Augmented (VR) holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 446 and 512 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Reality Augmented (VR)'s written reviews are positive against 67% of Mobile VR Station®'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and August 20, 2026 respectively.
