Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: VDB at monthly against DIS's every 16 months. VDB also leads on ratings volume (97 vs 8). DIS's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
