Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: VelaSmart at 5.0 against Westinghouse's 2.9. VelaSmart also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 17 months). Westinghouse's advantage is ratings volume (13 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
