Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: VIRC at 100% against XiaoXiangElectric's 17%. VIRC also leads on rating (4.0 vs 2.5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). XiaoXiangElectric's advantage is ratings volume (141 vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
