Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pickleball Drills at 87% against DUPR's 9%. Pickleball Drills also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.1) and iOS requirement (16.0.2 vs 18.6). DUPR's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ratings volume (3.9K vs 303). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
