Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AI Defender at none against Chip Detector's 1. AI Defender also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). Chip Detector's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
