Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BATLOGGER Control at none against GivHome's 2. BATLOGGER Control also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). GivHome's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 10 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
