Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
HELVEI holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: v_trace has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of v_trace's written reviews are positive against 20% of HELVEI's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
v_trace ships an update every 5 months, HELVEI every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
