As the first of its kind, 11:57 sets out to offer a 360-degree nightmare by making the spectator the main character of the film. This means that rather than just watching the film, you become part of the actual set making the action revolve around you. We highly recommended to use headphones to enjoy the binaural audio. 11:57 is produced by Sid Lee Collective. More info http://1157.pm Audio was produced and provided by Audentity.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 11 at none against Mobile VR Station®'s 5. 11 also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and review sentiment (79% vs 66%). Mobile VR Station®'s advantage is ratings volume (514 vs 17) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 12 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
