Verdict
The clearest difference is price: USVI Directory at Free against ThreadBook's $14.99. USVI Directory also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.1). ThreadBook's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 3.3) and update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
