Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vector Live at none against YLMSportScience's 5. Vector Live also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). YLMSportScience's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
