Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: NGA Plus at 5.0 against Vetiver's 4.4. NGA Plus also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and iOS requirement (17 vs 26.0). Vetiver's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
