Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: CSLEA at none against VIP's shown. CSLEA also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). VIP's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (18 vs 3). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
