Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: INCA at 100% against PhorestGo's 35%. INCA also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.5). PhorestGo's advantage is ratings volume (2.9K vs 9) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
