Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ING Netherlands at 4.8 against VCBBank's 3.8. ING Netherlands also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (4.9K vs 8). VCBBank's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
