Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Vacuus at none against Wizards Orb's shown. Vacuus also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 22 months). Wizards Orb's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
