Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: xDelete at 4.7 against RaceChip's 2.2. xDelete also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 31%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). RaceChip's advantage is monetization model (free vs paid) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
