Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: DJcity at 81% against VJ's 31%. DJcity also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 8 months) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 18.6). VJ's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
