Verdict
The clearest difference is price: CraneSafe at Free against InvenTree's $7.99. CraneSafe also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7). InvenTree's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and chart position (#136 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
