# V380 vs eWeLink

The clearest difference is ads: eWeLink at none against V380's shown. eWeLink also leads on review sentiment (28% vs 15%). V380's advantage is rating (3.1 vs 2.7) and ratings volume (994 vs 71). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. V380 sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and eWeLink sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

V380 holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: V380 has 994 ratings behind it against 71, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of V380's written reviews are positive against 28% of eWeLink's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

V380 ships an update every 2 months, eWeLink monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
