Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Vienna. at 75% against Schönbrunn's 29%. Vienna. also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). Schönbrunn's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 1.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Schönbrunn holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Schönbrunn has 86 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Vienna.'s written reviews are positive against 29% of Schönbrunn's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Vienna. ships an update every 2 months, Schönbrunn monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
