Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VERTICAL REALITY at none against HIDIVE's 8. VERTICAL REALITY also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). HIDIVE's advantage is chart position (#50 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
