Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Starfield Watch at 3.3 against VIVE Manager's 2.1. Starfield Watch also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). VIVE Manager's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs paid). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
