Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Craft Beer at free with in-app purchases against Vinny's subscription. Vinny's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
