Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iVenice at none against Venice Digital Guide's 1. iVenice also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Venice Digital Guide's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 15 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
