Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: LINE at 3.2 against VDONE's 2.7. LINE also leads on ratings volume (18K vs 3) and review sentiment (15% vs 0%). VDONE's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LINE sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and VDONE sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
