Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SiYuan at 4.0 against PingCode's 1.0. SiYuan also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (29 vs 1). PingCode's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (15 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SiYuan sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. PingCode asks for nothing beyond the download.
SiYuan holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SiYuan has 29 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
PingCode ships an update every 6 weeks, SiYuan weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
