Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lock Tool at none against IPSW Checker's 3. Lock Tool also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). IPSW Checker's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
