Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Virtual at Free against Compatible's $1.99. Virtual also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 15 months). Compatible's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.6). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
