Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Veggie Bestie at 5.0 against Sotheby's's 3.4. Veggie Bestie also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). Sotheby's's advantage is ratings volume (97 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
