Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Split Screen at 82% against Visual Code's 14%. Split Screen also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.4). Visual Code's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 12 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
