Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: HS GPS V1 at 3.5 against VS GPS's 2.8. HS GPS V1 also leads on review sentiment (43% vs 14%) and ratings volume (198 vs 23). VS GPS's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
