# VDP vs Xhome

The clearest difference is rating: Xhome at 4.4 against VDP's 3.7. Xhome also leads on ratings volume (114 vs 3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). VDP's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Xhome holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Xhome has 114 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of VDP's written reviews are positive against 0% of Xhome's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

VDP ships an update every 2 months, Xhome fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
