The clearest difference is rating: Vy at 2.9 against Vybuss's 1.0. Vy also leads on ratings volume (40 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Vybuss's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
