Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AV1 Events at none against MergePDF!'s 1. AV1 Events also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). MergePDF!'s advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
