Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BugGoing at none against Van's 21. BugGoing also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). Van's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
