Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: POP's Today at none against Patch Vault's 4. POP's Today also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). Patch Vault's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
