Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Vacuus at none against Squatris's shown. Vacuus also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 14 months). Squatris's advantage is ratings volume (14 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0.0 vs 13.1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
