Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GHA DISCOVERY at 4.8 against Viceroy Hotels's 1.6. GHA DISCOVERY also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 7). Viceroy Hotels's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
