Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Vekta at 5.0 against Xert EBC's 3.8. Vekta also leads on monetization model (free vs subscription) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Xert EBC's advantage is ratings volume (25 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
