Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: VetsApp at 80% against The American Legion's 12%. VetsApp also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.7) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 32). The American Legion's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
