Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: M at 100% against Virta.'s 25%. Virta.'s advantage is rating (3.5 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (15 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.
Virta. holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Virta. has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Virta.'s written reviews are positive against 100% of M's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Virta. ships an update every 5 weeks, M every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
