Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Tibia Buddy at Free against VGamepad's $14.99. Tibia Buddy also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.1). VGamepad's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Tibia Buddy holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 2 respectively.
