Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: V at 2.4 against Eques elf's 1.8. V also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 26 months) and review sentiment (25% vs 0%). Eques elf's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
