Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VO2 Max Calculator at none against Veloq's 3. VO2 Max Calculator also leads on price ($1.99 vs $2.99). Veloq's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 7 months). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
