Vibrates's advantage is ratings volume (34 vs 5) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vibrates sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Needle Search Builder sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
