Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Obsidian at Free against My Inventory Tracker's $1.99. Obsidian also leads on ratings volume (2.8K vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). My Inventory Tracker's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 62%) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and chart position there is nothing between them.
