Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: VIVA Plus+ at 58% against Esaad Card's 2%. VIVA Plus+ also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Esaad Card's advantage is rating (3.1 vs 2.8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ratings volume, 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.
Esaad Card holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 15 and 10 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 2% of Esaad Card'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.
Esaad Card ships an update every 3 months, VIVA Plus+ every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
