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. Venn+ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Umtu sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Umtu holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Venn+ has 25 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Venn+ ships an update every 4 days, Umtu every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
