Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Adventurers Vault at 5.0 against RA Tracker's 4.5. Adventurers Vault also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 85%) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). RA Tracker'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.
