Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Vocal Remover at 4.4 against Socket.dj's 2.8. Vocal Remover also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (8.1K vs 19). Socket.dj's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
