Both are free to download. The Vendlist sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Vend asks for nothing beyond the download.
The Vendlist holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Vendlist has 373 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Vend's written reviews are positive against 31% of The Vendlist's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Vend ships an update every 3 months, The Vendlist every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 11, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
