Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Vipps at 4.8 against Bank Norwegian's 4.3. Vipps also leads on ratings volume (2.4K vs 17) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). Bank Norwegian's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 33%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Vipps holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vipps has 2.4K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Vipps's written reviews are positive against 50% of Bank Norwegian's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Vipps ships an update every 4 days, Bank Norwegian every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
