Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: VGC Helper at free with in-app purchases against Supermajor's subscription. VGC Helper also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (567 vs 53). Supermajor's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 91%) and iOS requirement (14.0.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VGC Helper sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Supermajor sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for VGC Helper against 4.8 for Supermajor. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VGC Helper has 567 ratings behind it against 53, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 91% of VGC Helper's written reviews are positive against 100% of Supermajor's.
VGC Helper ships an update every 3 weeks, Supermajor every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
