# Vibration vs CES 2026

Vibration and CES 2026 both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 79% of Vibration's written reviews are positive against 21% of CES 2026's. Vibration also leads on chart position (#54 vs unranked). CES 2026's advantage is price (Free vs $9.99) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On rating, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

CES 2026 is free to download; Vibration costs $9.99 up front. Vibration sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. CES 2026 asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Vibration against 4.6 for CES 2026. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CES 2026 has 1.5K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 79% of Vibration's written reviews are positive against 21% of CES 2026's.

Vibration ships an update every 6 weeks, CES 2026 every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
