Casterly is a whole-table calculator that lets you instantly analyse numbers you can see anywhere. Tables appear in PDFs, presentations, reports, printed documents, websites and screens. Analysing them often means manually entering numbers into a calculator or rebuilding the table in a spreadsheet. Casterly aims to remove that friction. Capture a table with your device camera, import an image from your photo library, or receive a screenshot from the Casterly Desktop companion. Casterly turns the table into an interactive page of numbers you can immediately calculate with directly. With minimal taps, build formulas that operate across entire rows and columns. Calculate period-on-period movements, contributions and margins, check whether figures total correctly, analyse trends and create your own calculations—all without opening a spreadsheet. When working on a computer, use Casterly Desktop to capture a table and securely and instantly send it to the mobile app. Your phone becomes a second screen, allowing you to analyse the table without constant context switching between applications on your computer. Casterly and its desktop companion operate entirely offline, and no information is sent to Casterly servers. Desktop transfers remain between your computer and paired phone. Casterly offers auto-renewing subscriptions. Payment will be charged to your Apple Account when you confirm your purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. You can manage or cancel your subscription through your App Store Account Settings after purchase. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VFEX Direct at none against Casterly's 2. VFEX Direct also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). Casterly's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
