Verdict
The clearest difference is price: VatScope at Free against RoTile's $4.99. VatScope also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 1). RoTile's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 weeks). On rating, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
