Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: VeloTrax at none against CycleComputer Pro's shown. VeloTrax also leads on price ($2.99 vs $9.99) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). CycleComputer Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (188 vs 1). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
