You can use this time to read our newly improved blog right from the Vegman App! The Vegman App is a companion app for the community based website www.vegman.org. Please note: Vegman is a work in progress. There are many vegan, vegetarian and, VEG-friendly restaurants in the world and we need your help to identify them. Via our website you can upload images, write reviews, rate restaurants you have visited and flag wrong content, so the community can profit from your experiences as you will profit from content submitted by others.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Vegman at 56% against Global Citizen's 28%. Vegman also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Global Citizen's advantage is rating (3.7 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (153 vs 12). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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.
Global Citizen holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Global Citizen has 153 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Vegman's written reviews are positive against 28% of Global Citizen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Vegman ships an update every 2 months, Global Citizen monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
