Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: HiEasy at 54% against VDP's 11%. HiEasy also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 3). VDP's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
