Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Venvi at 100% against Guidebook's 53%. Venvi also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). Guidebook's advantage is ratings volume (3.7K vs 9). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
