Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Virtual Stream Deck at none against Biaxial's shown. Virtual Stream Deck also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). Biaxial's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
