Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: InspectorIQ at 80% against PRO's 4%. InspectorIQ also leads on rating (4.3 vs 1.0) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). PRO's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
