Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Vibrator + at fortnightly against Massage Pillow's every 5 months. Vibrator + also leads on ratings volume (2.4K vs 478) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Massage Pillow's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 4.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
