Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VE/LA at none against ResX's 8. VE/LA also leads on ads (none vs shown). ResX's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and chart position (#9 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
