Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: SvenGallery at none against Vanish's shown. SvenGallery also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 20 months). Vanish's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
