Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Vermitron at $2.99 against Dune's $10.99. Vermitron also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (100% vs 79%). Dune's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (4.9K vs 2). On rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
