Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: bylocal at none against Via Brasil's shown. bylocal also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 16 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Via Brasil's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
