Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lurk at 100% against VirtualTablet's 25%. Lurk also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.3) and monetization model (freemium vs subscription). VirtualTablet's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VirtualTablet sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Lurk sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Lurk holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VirtualTablet has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 25% of VirtualTablet's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lurk's.
VirtualTablet ships an update every 9 days, Lurk weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
