Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vodobanka at none against Herodom's 1. Vodobanka also leads on review sentiment (98% vs 70%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). Herodom's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (3.7K vs 419). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
