The clearest difference is review sentiment: iDOS 3 at 70% against iVerify Basic's 42%. iVerify Basic's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 51). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

iVerify Basic holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iVerify Basic has 2.4K ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of iVerify Basic's written reviews are positive against 70% of iDOS 3's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
