Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Telling the Truth at none against VERO's 1. Telling the Truth also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). VERO's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 29). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Telling the Truth holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VERO has 1.5K ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Telling the Truth's written reviews are positive against 60% of VERO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Telling the Truth ships an update every 6 months, VERO monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
