Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Vocal Assistant at 100% against BedTech Base's 30%. Vocal Assistant also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.2) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks). BedTech Base's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and ratings volume (30 vs 3). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
