# 大麦 vs Vae+

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Vae+ at 78% against 大麦's 8%. Vae+ also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.3). 大麦's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (435 vs 29). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 大麦 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Vae+ sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Vae+ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 大麦 has 435 ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 8% of 大麦's written reviews are positive against 78% of Vae+'s.

大麦 ships an update every 2 weeks, Vae+ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and July 4, 2026 respectively.
