Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Virtual Window at none against Peak's 10. Virtual Window also leads on ads (none vs shown). Peak's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and chart position (#145 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
