Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Decypher at none against Bird Identifier's 2. Decypher also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 months). Bird Identifier's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
