# Vimtag vs SiiPet

The clearest difference is rating: SiiPet at 3.8 against Vimtag's 2.2. SiiPet also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (33% vs 21%). Vimtag's advantage is ratings volume (382 vs 6) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vimtag sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and SiiPet sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SiiPet holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vimtag has 382 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 21% of Vimtag's written reviews are positive against 33% of SiiPet's.

Vimtag ships an update every 5 weeks, SiiPet every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and August 28, 2026 respectively.
