Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vivasistem at none against Stud Finder゜'s 1. Vivasistem also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Stud Finder゜'s advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 11 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
