Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: GPS Bike Computer at none against Cycling Computer's shown. GPS Bike Computer also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 months). Cycling Computer's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
