Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Else Words at weekly against Vampire Story's every 7 months. Else Words also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Vampire Story's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
