Verdict

The clearest difference is ads: Vector Bloom at none against Nebula Blaster's shown. Vector Bloom also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). Nebula Blaster's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
