The clearest difference is review sentiment: Vestaboard at 71% against Flyer™'s 25%. Vestaboard also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.2) and ratings volume (140 vs 6). Flyer™'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
