Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Cast+ at Free against V2er's $4.99. Cast+ also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 26.0). V2er's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.5) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
