Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Moki at free against GitVault's free with in-app purchases. Moki also leads on chart position (#199 vs unranked). GitVault's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
