Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: inSpace defender at none against Vertigus's 10. inSpace defender also leads on iOS requirement (12.1 vs 16.6). Vertigus's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 23 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
