Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Violet at 3.7 against OvrC's 2.4. Violet also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.5). OvrC's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (44 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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.
Violet holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OvrC has 44 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Violet's written reviews are positive against 9% of OvrC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Violet ships an update every 2 months, OvrC fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
