Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: BitSafe at 100% against Norton VPN's 44%. BitSafe also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). Norton VPN's advantage is price (Free vs $4.99) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
