The clearest difference is rating: Vortex1 at 5.0 against 123\Tune+'s 4.5. Vortex1 also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). 123\Tune+'s advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (256 vs 3).

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Vortex1 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 123\Tune+ has 256 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of 123\Tune+'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Vortex1's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
123\Tune+ ships an update every 3 weeks, Vortex1 every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
