# Vanguard V for Google Cardboard vs VRChat

The clearest difference is rating: VRChat at 4.4 against Vanguard V for Google Cardboard's 3.7. VRChat also leads on ratings volume (3.5K vs 67) and chart position (#79 vs unranked). Vanguard V for Google Cardboard's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (72% vs 45%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VRChat sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Vanguard V for Google Cardboard asks for nothing beyond the download.

VRChat holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VRChat has 3.5K ratings behind it against 67, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Vanguard V for Google Cardboard's written reviews are positive against 45% of VRChat's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
