Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PLAYERTEK PLUS at none against Vitruve's 2. PLAYERTEK PLUS also leads on rating (2.7 vs 2.4) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Vitruve's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (14% vs 0%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

PLAYERTEK PLUS holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 2.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 14 respectively.
