Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: UDevice at 78% against VSCoW's 25%. UDevice also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.0) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 9 months). VSCoW's advantage is price ($2.99 vs $4.99) and iOS requirement (14.5 vs 16.0). On ads, in-app purchases, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.
