Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: VDONE at 2.7 against Zalo's 2.1. VDONE also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). Zalo's advantage is ratings volume (8.5K vs 3) and chart position (#169 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Zalo sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and VDONE sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

VDONE holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zalo has 8.5K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of Zalo's written reviews are positive against 0% of VDONE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Zalo ships an update every 10 days, VDONE every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
