Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Vocabug at none against Tomato Evolution's shown. Vocabug also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Tomato Evolution's advantage is ratings volume (70 vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
