Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: ServerCat at every 5 days against Async's every 2 weeks. ServerCat also leads on chart position (#58 vs unranked). Async's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 77%) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
