Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PaperVault at none against Awake's 6. PaperVault also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). Awake's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
