Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iDevTools at none against MQTT Terminal Pro's 1. iDevTools also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 6 months). MQTT Terminal Pro's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). On price and chart position there is nothing between them.
