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.
noforeignland holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: noforeignland has 90 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Visit BVI's written reviews are positive against 97% of noforeignland's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Visit BVI ships an update every 2 months, noforeignland every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
