Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: OVinfo at 5.0 against OV's 1.0. OVinfo also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). OV's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
