Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ship Recreation at 100% against PitchAware's 22%. Ship Recreation also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.6) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). PitchAware's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 7 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
