Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: VJ at 5.0 against raveZap's 2.0. VJ also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10). raveZap's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). On price, review sentiment 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. raveZap sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. VJ asks for nothing beyond the download.
VJ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: raveZap has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of VJ's written reviews are positive against 38% of raveZap's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
VJ ships an update every 8 months, raveZap every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 4, 2026 and August 23, 2026 respectively.
