Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DJI Ronin at none against Sunlight Tracker's 3. DJI Ronin also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Sunlight Tracker's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
