Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: My Dart Training at 76% against PDC's 14%. My Dart Training also leads on rating (4.2 vs 2.9) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). PDC's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
