Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: TopScan Pad at Free against Virtual Rolodex's $1.99. TopScan Pad also leads on ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Virtual Rolodex's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 months). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
