More Info:
Virt-a-Mate + vamX includes Virt-a-Mate, the base game required to run vamX. If you purchase vamX on Patreon, you don't get Virt-a-Mate and it must be purchased and installed separately. Installation is significantly harder / more time consuming, as here you get a single combined installer that just puts everything together.
If you purchase vamX from Patreon, you get a newer version of vamX. That version is updated every month on Patreon as long as you keep subscribing on Patreon.
If you purchase on itch.io you get free updates for life (instead of paying monthly) but the game is only updated infrequently, typically every 4-6 months with a major combined update. These updates are checked more carefully, to make sure the major updates don't contain any issues. When the itch.io (this version) is updated, it includes ALL improvements you would get if you were on the VIP Early Access tier on Patreon, so you do end up with everything.
VaMX on itch.io includes VIP Extras that are not outdated. There are VIP Extra environments available through Patreon that are not part of VaMX on itch.io, but that is because they have become outdated and slightly broken when used with new versions of vamX. Once those environments are updated/fixed to work with the latest VaMX, they will be added for free for VaMX users. So, at least currently, all working VIP Extras are included in VaMX on itch.io. This isn't always guaranteed, though, there may be VIP additions on Patreon that don't get into VaMX. If you see something you absolutely must have, then you could always subscribe for one month on Patreon, but currently that isn't necessary unless you really love the VIP environments, even though they need some updating to work as they were originally intended to (with dynamic interactivity, for example things change when you move around the Space Station scene, etc., and to have the full set of vamX options).
