Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sequence Decoder at none against StaffTraveler's 8. Sequence Decoder also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). StaffTraveler's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (6.4K vs 238). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
