# Vibration vs CES 2027

Vibration and CES 2027 both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 79% of Vibration's written reviews are positive against 21% of CES 2027's. Vibration also leads on chart position (#86 vs unranked). CES 2027'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 2027 is free to download; Vibration costs $9.99 up front. Vibration sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. CES 2027 asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Vibration against 4.6 for CES 2027. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CES 2027 has 1.9K ratings behind it against 12, 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 2027's.

Vibration ships an update every 6 weeks, CES 2027 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
