Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: VVTerm at 100% against Remodex's 50%. VVTerm also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). Remodex's advantage is ratings volume (34 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
