Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ViewLink at none against Chapter's 2. ViewLink also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Chapter's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
