Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Word Count Plus at none against VPN's 3. Word Count Plus also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 38%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). VPN's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (409 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
