Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: VANTAGE at none against Thrift App's shown. VANTAGE also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 days). Thrift App's advantage is ratings volume (9 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VANTAGE sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Thrift App sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
