The clearest difference is monetization model: Dubsy at free with in-app purchases against Vocal Remover's subscription. Dubsy also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 35%). Vocal Remover's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 87). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
