Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: VIAVI OSPREY at none against Keysight Pocket Guide's shown. VIAVI OSPREY also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). Keysight Pocket Guide's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
