Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PADECG at 5.0 against athenaCapture's 2.9. PADECG also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). athenaCapture's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 10 months) and review sentiment (30% vs 0%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
PADECG holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: athenaCapture has 51 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of PADECG's written reviews are positive against 30% of athenaCapture's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PADECG ships an update every 10 months, athenaCapture monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
