Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: xDelete at 4.7 against VE AWD Controller's 4.0. xDelete also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (498 vs 1). VE AWD Controller's advantage is monetization model (free vs paid) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
