Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: visualDNA at 67% against ComicScout's 0%. visualDNA also leads on ads (none vs shown). ComicScout's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. visualDNA sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and ComicScout sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
ComicScout holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of visualDNA's written reviews are positive against 0% of ComicScout's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
