Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: DotList at 94% against VCP's 50%. DotList also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.0) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 35 months). VCP's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 18.2). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
