Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Vlogr at 4.7 against Efectum's 4.0. Vlogr also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 4). Efectum's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and review sentiment (64% vs 50%). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Vlogr holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vlogr has 1.1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Vlogr's written reviews are positive against 64% of Efectum's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Vlogr ships an update every 10 days, Efectum every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
