Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
swyp UAE holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: swyp UAE has 485 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of swyp UAE's written reviews are positive against 58% of VIVA Plus+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
swyp UAE ships an update every 5 weeks, VIVA Plus+ every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
