VESPA CONNECT

Vespa Connect is the app for Vespa owners and their clubs. GARAGE Add one or several Vespas with a photo, model year and mileage. Track service history — oil, tires, brakes — and always know how many kilometers are left until the next check-up. RIDES Record your routes via GPS: distance, time and speed are calculated automatically, even with the phone in your pocket and the screen locked. After the ride, get a shareable card with your route on the map, top speed and distance — post it to Instagram Stories or save it to Photos. ACHIEVEMENTS 12 badges for your first rides, distance milestones (up to 5000 km) and the number of regions visited — the app tracks your progress automatically. CLUB See the calendar of club rides and join with one tap. Your Club ID is a personal card with a QR code — show it at a meetup, and anyone can view your public profile (no email or contact details included). Vespa Connect is an international platform. Pick your country on first launch, and the app opens on the club that represents it. Vespa Riders Ukraine is fully available today, with more countries coming soon.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VESPA CONNECT at none against Piaggio's 1. VESPA CONNECT also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). Piaggio's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
