Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Vessel at 100% against DIFC+'s 50%. Vessel also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). DIFC+'s advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 34 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
