The clearest difference is ratings volume: Vignettes at 1K against Atomic Escape's 30. Vignettes also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (88% vs 74%). Atomic Escape's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Vignettes costs $2.99 and Atomic Escape $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Vignettes holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vignettes has 1K ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of Vignettes's written reviews are positive against 74% of Atomic Escape's.
