Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: V/Line at 5.0 against myVEVO's 4.0. myVEVO's advantage is review sentiment (28% vs 8%) and ratings volume (28 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
V/Line holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: myVEVO has 28 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 8% of V/Line's written reviews are positive against 28% of myVEVO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
V/Line ships an update every 6 months, myVEVO every 4 months. Both last shipped on September 21, 2026.
