Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GV at 4.3 against AVY Mobile CVMS's 2.3. GV also leads on ratings volume (1.7K vs 124). AVY Mobile CVMS's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.6). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads 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. GV sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. AVY Mobile CVMS asks for nothing beyond the download.
GV holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GV has 1.7K ratings behind it against 124, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 22% of GV's written reviews are positive against 15% of AVY Mobile CVMS's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
