Verdict
The clearest difference is price: 39Tools at Free against AirTerminal's $9.99. 39Tools also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). AirTerminal's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 9 months) and chart position (#105 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
