Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Diecast ID at 4.5 against DiecastDB's 2.1. Diecast ID also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 16 months) and review sentiment (85% vs 57%). DiecastDB's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
