Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Vector at 5.0 against Gold Mountain's 4.3. Vector also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). Gold Mountain's advantage is ratings volume (136 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
