# A vs Virtual Dashboard

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: A at none against Virtual Dashboard's 2. A also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). Virtual Dashboard's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 90%). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Virtual Dashboard sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. A asks for nothing beyond the download.

A holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 18 and 13 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of A's written reviews are positive against 100% of Virtual Dashboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

A ships an update every 2 months, Virtual Dashboard every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
