Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sci at none against Vertigus's 10. Sci also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.6). Vertigus's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 58 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
