Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: iNaturalist at fortnightly against VegDr's every 22 months. iNaturalist also leads on ratings volume (715 vs 2) and chart position (#95 vs unranked). VegDr's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
