Retinly Pro bought here also unlocks Pro in Retinly for Mac on the same iCloud account, and Pro you already have in Retinly for Mac works here too. HDR export, all flat device frames and every other iPhone’s 3D export are free. Posing and previewing the Duo are free too. OPTIONAL ICLOUD PROJECT SYNC Choose supported iPhone or iPad screen-recording projects to upload to your private iCloud storage. With compatible Retinly versions and the same iCloud account, download and import editable copies on your other device. Saved edits sync while Retinly is open; iOS background sync is not guaranteed. Some frames, finishes and edits are not supported, and conflicting versions need your review. Retinly Pro also enables sync. Your iCloud storage quota applies. EDIT ON YOUR DEVICE No Retinly account is needed to edit. Video editing and rendering happen on your device. Optional sync sends selected projects to iCloud. When you’re signed in to iCloud, a Retinly Pro purchase is verified through Retinly’s server so Pro can also work in Retinly for Mac. Purchases use RevenueCat, and feedback is sent only when you choose to submit it. Start with a recording. Finish with a demo you can share.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Retinly at every 5 days against Panostory Pro's every 2 weeks. Panostory Pro's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
