Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VAG Coding at none against OBDeleven VAG's 13. VAG Coding also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). OBDeleven VAG's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (6.8K vs 5). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. OBDeleven VAG sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. VAG Coding asks for nothing beyond the download.
OBDeleven VAG holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OBDeleven VAG has 6.8K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of OBDeleven VAG's written reviews are positive against 33% of VAG Coding's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
