Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 4Things at 5.0 against Pineapple Pen's 4.3. 4Things also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (100% vs 71%). Pineapple Pen's advantage is ratings volume (6K vs 28) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
