Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PreciseDM at 5.0 against PitPat's 4.0. PreciseDM also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). PitPat's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
