Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Vidometer at 63% against Ride Lens's 0%. Vidometer also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). Ride Lens's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.8) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
