Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: meinAVV at 4.1 against AVV connect's 1.0. meinAVV also leads on ratings volume (11 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). AVV connect's advantage is review sentiment (35% vs 15%). 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.
meinAVV holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: meinAVV has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of AVV connect's written reviews are positive against 15% of meinAVV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
