Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Show IDFA at none against ServerCat's 3. Show IDFA also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). ServerCat's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
