Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: VTA+ at 4.7 against ESSA's 1.0. VTA+ also leads on ratings volume (357 vs 1). ESSA's advantage is review sentiment (38% vs 16%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.0). On price, update cadence, 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.
VTA+ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VTA+ has 357 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of ESSA's written reviews are positive against 16% of VTA+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ESSA ships an update every 3 months, VTA+ every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
