# Avi vs iJudges

The clearest difference is review sentiment: iJudges at 100% against Avi's 22%. iJudges also leads on ads (none vs shown). Avi's advantage is price (Free vs $5.99) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). On update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Avi is free to download; iJudges costs $5.99 up front. iJudges sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Avi asks for nothing beyond the download.

Avi holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Avi has 1.9K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Avi's written reviews are positive against 100% of iJudges's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Avi ships an update every 6 weeks, iJudges every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
