Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: PLA Pro at 90% against SalonSoft's 0%. PLA Pro also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.4) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 18). SalonSoft's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
