Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Central X at 57% against DVR's 4%. Central X also leads on rating (4.9 vs 2.6) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). DVR's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
