Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: iGel Beauty at every 5 weeks against PLA Pro's every 4 months. PLA Pro's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 438). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
