Difference between Privacy Guides Verified Apps and AppVerifier BG?

From the verified apps thread

"Verified Apps" app for Android pre-release

I made this new app:

  1. To reduce the number of people you need to trust if you only care about checking our new database. If you use AppVerifierBG you are relying on both Privacy Guides and @RoundSalmon4. Plus, AppVerifierBG might add other data or data sources to their database in addition to ours at some point. Which can be cool, no problem with that, but I want an app that will always exactly mirror ours.

  2. To give people a button to open an auto-filled form to submit, yeah.

AppVerifierBG looks like it will be a better option for most people who want a full set of tools, the custom user database feature is neat. Our app is more cut down.
