Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PETA at none against V Locator's shown. PETA also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 11) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, update cadence 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.
PETA holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PETA has 1.6K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of PETA's written reviews are positive against 100% of V Locator'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 September 23, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
