# Query vs Vimlike

The clearest difference is update cadence: Vimlike at every 2 months against Query's every 11 months. Vimlike also leads on ratings volume (30 vs 1). Query's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 85%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Query holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vimlike has 30 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Query's written reviews are positive against 85% of Vimlike's.

Query ships an update every 11 months, Vimlike every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
