Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SHARE Rewards at 4.1 against VIVA Plus+'s 2.8. SHARE Rewards also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (323 vs 10). VIVA Plus+'s advantage is review sentiment (58% vs 19%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SHARE Rewards holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SHARE Rewards has 323 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of SHARE Rewards'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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SHARE Rewards ships an update weekly, VIVA Plus+ every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and July 30, 2026 respectively.
