Verdict
The clearest difference is price: V at Free against Text Reader & PDF export's $2.99. V also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Text Reader & PDF export's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 13 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
