Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Vex at 4.3 against Rainbow Dash's 2.8. Vex also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 22 months). Rainbow Dash's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
