Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Vestaboard at 4.6 against Sedition Art's 2.3. Vestaboard also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6) and review sentiment (71% vs 38%). Sedition Art's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
