Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ALLSTARVIP at 100% against ParkFerndale's 23%. ParkFerndale's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (410 vs 1). 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.
ParkFerndale holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ParkFerndale has 410 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of ALLSTARVIP's written reviews are positive against 23% of ParkFerndale's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ALLSTARVIP ships an update every 15 months, ParkFerndale every 17 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
