Very early development stage social media application. Tail is a board post application where you can upload posts attached with four images or a video, or you can upload text too. Tail is moderated by trusted community members that must go through an application process to be selected. You are expected to follow the app's rules. Violations of rules result in account jail time, and more severe violations result in account bans. Currently available only for iPhone and iPad users with iOS 13.2 or higher.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tail! at none against VERO's 3. Tail! also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). VERO's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 190). On price and device support 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. VERO sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Tail! asks for nothing beyond the download.
Tail! 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 190, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of VERO's written reviews are positive against 80% of Tail!'s.
VERO ships an update every 3 weeks, Tail! every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
