The clearest difference is rating: VIVOSUN at 4.7 against LetPot's 3.2. VIVOSUN also leads on ratings volume (8.3K vs 65). LetPot's advantage is review sentiment (74% vs 63%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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.
VIVOSUN holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VIVOSUN has 8.3K ratings behind it against 65, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of LetPot's written reviews are positive against 63% of VIVOSUN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
LetPot ships an update every 2 weeks, VIVOSUN every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
