Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: OpenPM at 5.0 against VisualDx's 4.4. OpenPM also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 11) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). VisualDx's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 39 months) and ratings volume (186 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
