# Vicool vs Hohem Gimbal

The clearest difference is update cadence: Vicool at every 8 days against Hohem Gimbal's monthly. Vicool also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). Hohem Gimbal's advantage is ratings volume (239 vs 18) and review sentiment (17% vs 7%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Vicool holds the better App Store score, 2.4 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hohem Gimbal has 239 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 7% of Vicool's written reviews are positive against 17% of Hohem Gimbal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Vicool ships an update every 8 days, Hohem Gimbal monthly. The most recent releases landed on June 11, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
