Verdict
Salient and VIP both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Salient's written reviews are positive against 38% of VIP's. Salient also leads on ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). VIP's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Salient against 5.0 for VIP. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Salient has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Salient's written reviews are positive against 38% of VIP's.
Salient ships an update every 2 months, VIP every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
