Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GVM LED at 3.0 against Content Browser Mobile's 2.1. GVM LED also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Content Browser Mobile's advantage is ratings volume (30 vs 4). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
