Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Floravault at 100% against Whisker's 52%. Whisker's advantage is price (Free vs $9.99) and ratings volume (149K vs 2). On ads, in-app purchases 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
Whisker is free to download; Floravault costs $9.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Whisker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Whisker has 149K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Whisker's written reviews are positive against 100% of Floravault's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
