Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: MVGO at every 3 weeks against VVM App's every 6 months. MVGO also leads on review sentiment (39% vs 28%). VVM App's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
