Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: RECRD at 88% against Vyke's 39%. RECRD also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). Vyke's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 19). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
