Draw freely, refine precisely Use the pen, freehand and shape tools to build your artwork. Edit Bézier nodes, curves and outlines, then arrange objects with alignment, distribution, grids and guides. Zoom into your canvas to refine the details. Bring layers, color and type together Organize artwork with layers and groups. Adjust opacity, fills, strokes and gradients, use masks to control what appears, and place text along a path. Combine lettering and graphics for logos, illustrations and layouts. Trace images into editable paths Import an image as a reference or generate a vector tracing preview before applying it. Tracing works best with logos, line art and flat-color images. Photos are quantized to your chosen number of colors, so results depend on the source image. Export for your next step Import SVG, VectorPaint, Inkpad and common image files. Export SVG, PDF and PNG, or keep an editable VectorPaint document. PNG supports transparent backgrounds. SVG and PDF may include bitmap elements from your artwork; export does not automatically turn every object into vectors.

Vector Sketch Pro

Version# 4.0.1 No ads… No subscription… just a small one time purchase. A vector drawing application for the iPad or iPhone that provides a very simple, user friendly interface to draw vector lines, circles, rectangles, and text labels. Please note this is not a CAD application. The drawn shapes can be moved and rotated after placement. Shape properties can also be changed (e.g. line width, color) by first selecting one or more shapes and then clicking the properties icon. A border line is drawn around the outside of the canvas to represent the drawing area of a standard size sheet of paper (8-1/2 X 11 inches), and you can only draw inside this border. The canvas is initially displayed zoomed out to show the entire border. To create a more detailed drawing, you can use two fingers to zoom in and pan. You can change the background color of the canvas, depending on your needs. For example, if you wanted to draw with a WHITE pen, you would probably pick a darker background. A grid is displayed over the canvas to help with alignment. There are different ways to display this grid, or hide it completely if you would rather have a blank canvas. Snapping can be turned ON or OFF, and allows you to easily align various shapes as you place them. When snapping is ON, as you draw a new shape on the screen the point is “snapped” to the nearest snap point location (on the grid). Snap points are invisible, and are located at the intersection of each line in the grid. Snapping can be still be used, even when the grid is "hidden". Note: This snapping behavior does not apply when multiple shapes are selected and moved. Drawings can be printed in landscape, on 8-1/2 X11 inch paper. You can select single or multiple shapes. After a selection is made, a small menu appears with: - shape(s) information (i) such as color, line width, etc - move to TOP or BOTTOM of the z-order (button icon only enabled when a single shape is selected) - other movement options such as flip and rotate - duplicate the selected shape(s) - delete the selected shape(s)

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Vector Sketch Pro at every 3 weeks against VectorPaint's every 9 months. VectorPaint's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $4.99) and chart position (#20 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
