Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: viProject at 4.3 against Project Plan 365's 3.3. viProject also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Project Plan 365's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
