Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Vex at 5.0 against V2Fun's 4.1. Vex also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). V2Fun's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
