Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: My Tello at none against PLANK.io's 3. My Tello also leads on chart position (#143 vs unranked). PLANK.io's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
