Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Vantage Media at none against Trib E's shown. Vantage Media also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 months). Trib E's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
