Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AddIt at 4.8 against PalGate's 2.6. AddIt also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). PalGate's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
