Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pace.Yours at none against Ochi's 6. Pace.Yours also leads on review sentiment (92% vs 64%). Ochi's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
