# V720 vs Hengching

The clearest difference is rating: V720 at 4.3 against Hengching's 3.7. V720 also leads on ratings volume (4.1K vs 6). Hengching's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. V720 sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $0.39 per month. Hengching asks for nothing beyond the download.

V720 holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: V720 has 4.1K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 9% of V720's written reviews are positive against 43% of Hengching's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

V720 ships an update every 3 weeks, Hengching fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and June 3, 2026 respectively.
