Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sherwin at 40% against VendorCafe's 7%. Sherwin also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). VendorCafe's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
