Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ChipLog Pro at Free against View Selection Source's $0.99. ChipLog Pro also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 42 months). View Selection Source's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
