Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MY VVNG at 4.3 against GettingOut's 1.9. MY VVNG also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). GettingOut's advantage is ratings volume (2.2K vs 6) and chart position (#31 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MY VVNG holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GettingOut has 2.2K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 5% of GettingOut's written reviews are positive against 0% of MY VVNG's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
