Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VSC Browser at none against Mind Map's 3. VSC Browser also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Mind Map's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
