Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Myra at none against Vertical Indicator's 1. Myra also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Vertical Indicator's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
