Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vestaboard at none against Odds's 5. Vestaboard also leads on ratings volume (141 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). Odds's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
