Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Inksightful at 5.0 against Paperlogix's 4.5. Paperlogix's advantage is ratings volume (68 vs 1) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Paperlogix sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Inksightful sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Inksightful holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paperlogix has 68 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
