Verdict
Vida Travel and TripIdea both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Vida Travel's written reviews are positive against 50% of TripIdea's. Vida Travel also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (25 vs 3). TripIdea's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
