Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: VirtualBestie at free against Stacklist's free with in-app purchases. VirtualBestie also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 11 days). Stacklist's advantage is ratings volume (19 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
