Verdict

The call

Molz's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (17% vs 0%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

VDateNow holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of VDateNow's written reviews are positive against 17% of Molz's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

VDateNow ships an update every 2 months, Molz weekly. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
