Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Float at 64% against VDX's 7%. Float also leads on rating (4.7 vs 1.7) and ratings volume (9.3K vs 51). VDX's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Float sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and VDX sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Float holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Float has 9.3K ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Float's written reviews are positive against 7% of VDX's.
Float ships an update every 4 days, VDX fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
