Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TaskTroll at 5.0 against My PetSafe®'s 3.7. TaskTroll also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 59%) and device support (3 vs 1). My PetSafe®'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ratings volume (781 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
