Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Python Manual at none against MQTT Spy's 1. Python Manual also leads on ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#127 vs unranked). MQTT Spy's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price there is nothing between them.
