Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Inventory Bot at 4.4 against NamePromo's 3.1. Inventory Bot also leads on ratings volume (205 vs 11) and chart position (#65 vs unranked). NamePromo's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Inventory Bot sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. NamePromo asks for nothing beyond the download.
Inventory Bot holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Inventory Bot has 205 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of NamePromo's written reviews are positive against 64% of Inventory Bot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
