Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SHIFT Web at 50% against Vatican Vox's 0%. SHIFT Web also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (33 vs 1).

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.
Vatican Vox holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SHIFT Web has 33 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Vatican Vox's written reviews are positive against 50% of SHIFT Web's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Vatican Vox ships an update every 5 months, SHIFT Web every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
