Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: VILTROX Lens at 1.5 against SmallGoGo's 1.0. VILTROX Lens also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (42 vs 4). SmallGoGo's advantage is review sentiment (15% vs 5%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

VILTROX Lens holds the better App Store score, 1.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VILTROX Lens has 42 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of SmallGoGo's written reviews are positive against 5% of VILTROX Lens's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SmallGoGo ships an update every 3 months, VILTROX Lens monthly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
