# 猫眼 vs Vae+

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 猫眼 at none against Vae+'s 10. 猫眼 also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 29) and device support (3 vs 1). Vae+'s advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 50%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vae+ sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. 猫眼 asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for 猫眼 against 4.8 for Vae+. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 猫眼 has 1.5K ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 50% of 猫眼's written reviews are positive against 78% of Vae+'s.

猫眼 ships an update every 3 weeks, Vae+ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and July 4, 2026 respectively.
