Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PlantPulsePro at none against Stud Finder゜'s 1. PlantPulsePro also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). Stud Finder゜'s advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
