Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: VIP Perks at 3.8 against HomeGoods's 2.6. VIP Perks also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). HomeGoods's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 8). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
