Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: VehicleMaker at Free against Sector's $3.99. VehicleMaker also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.6). Sector's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 42 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
