Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MagicalDraw at 3.5 against VectorMotion's 2.7. MagicalDraw also leads on review sentiment (64% vs 36%) and ratings volume (19 vs 3). VectorMotion's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
