Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MyEnvera at 4.7 against vGates's 1.7. MyEnvera also leads on ratings volume (10K vs 18) and review sentiment (24% vs 0%). vGates's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
