Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Vipps at 34% against Gjensidige's 0%. Vipps also leads on ratings volume (2.4K vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). Gjensidige's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Gjensidige holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vipps has 2.4K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Gjensidige's written reviews are positive against 34% of Vipps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Gjensidige ships an update every 2 weeks, Vipps weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
