Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: VulcanOps at 5.0 against Tab's 4.2. VulcanOps also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). Tab's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
