Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: CuratedCom at 100% against Viya's 30%. CuratedCom also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Viya's advantage is ratings volume (348 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
CuratedCom holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Viya has 348 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 30% of Viya's written reviews are positive against 100% of CuratedCom's.
Viya ships an update every 6 weeks, CuratedCom fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
