Vantage Point transforms your folders into galleries and provides an artistic birds-eye-view of your files. Vantage Point's galleries use a mosaic layout that eliminates the whitespace traditionally found in Finder and other viewing apps. This arrangement is more conducive to casual browsing and inspiration seeking. From Overview you can: • Organize Images. Dragging files into a gallery will add them to that gallery's folder in the file system, or album in Photos. • Share images. Just tap and hold on an image and tap share. • All the changes you make in Vantage Point are made in your device's file structure, so if you decide to not use Vantage Point anymore, there's nothing to convert or export.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Vantage Point Galleries at every 8 days against Datum's every 3 months. Datum's advantage is price ($1.99 vs $4.99) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
