Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ViDE AR at none against ABC 7 New York's shown. ViDE AR also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). ABC 7 New York's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and chart position (#95 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
