Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: V at 4.8 against Auraglow's 1.0. V also leads on ratings volume (12 vs 1). Auraglow's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, 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.
V holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: V has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of V's written reviews are positive against 33% of Auraglow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
V ships an update every 4 months, Auraglow every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on June 5, 2026.
