Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: myVRN at free against RMVgo's free with in-app purchases. myVRN also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and device support (3 vs 1). RMVgo's advantage is review sentiment (40% vs 29%) and ratings volume (608 vs 154). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
myVRN holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 154 and 608 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of myVRN's written reviews are positive against 40% of RMVgo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
