Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SomosBeds at 100% against Virginia Mobile ID's 19%. SomosBeds also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). Virginia Mobile ID's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (19K vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Virginia Mobile ID holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Virginia Mobile ID has 19K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Virginia Mobile ID's written reviews are positive against 100% of SomosBeds's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
