Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: VTC@HK at 3.0 against Check's 1.0. VTC@HK also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Check's advantage is review sentiment (17% vs 6%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
VTC@HK holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of VTC@HK's written reviews are positive against 17% of Check's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
VTC@HK ships an update every 3 weeks, Check every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
