Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Softpulse at none against SkiPal's 2. Softpulse also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). SkiPal's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
