Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Seeing Assistant Home at none against VisionAI's 4. Seeing Assistant Home also leads on ratings volume (37 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15 vs 17.0). VisionAI's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
