Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 7 Web at none against GistForge's 2. 7 Web also leads on ratings volume (32 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). GistForge's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
