Memento Database's advantage is ratings volume (326 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Memento Database sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Vanoa sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
