Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ROBE COM at none against Portable Follow Spot's 1. ROBE COM also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Portable Follow Spot's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
