Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Velocity Black at 4.9 against InList's 4.3. Velocity Black also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (571 vs 18). InList's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
