Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Vectorworks Remote at 5.0 against iTruss's 4.1. Vectorworks Remote also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 23 months). iTruss's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 2) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
