Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SureVision holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 1.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 11 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of SureVision's written reviews are positive against 50% of GWView's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
