Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iBasement Pro at 5.0 against Airthings's 4.4. iBasement Pro also leads on iOS requirement (15 vs 17.6). Airthings's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
