Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Annke Vision at 4.7 against X's 3.0. Annke Vision also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (20K vs 2). X's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 38%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Annke Vision holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Annke Vision has 20K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Annke Vision's written reviews are positive against 50% of X's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Annke Vision ships an update every 2 months, X every 15 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
