Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Cvent LeadCapture at 4.5 against vFairs's 3.1. Cvent LeadCapture also leads on ratings volume (398 vs 35). vFairs's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Cvent LeadCapture holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cvent LeadCapture has 398 ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Cvent LeadCapture's written reviews are positive against 68% of vFairs's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cvent LeadCapture ships an update every 3 months, vFairs every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
