Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ALIGN Studio VT at 100% against VMBA's 50%. ALIGN Studio VT also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (126 vs 17). VMBA's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
