Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Strikketeller at 100% against Knitting Chart's 51%. Strikketeller also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.3). Knitting Chart's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 9) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
