Verdict
The clearest difference is price: SimpleCPD at Free against InvenTree's $7.99. SimpleCPD also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). InvenTree's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months) and chart position (#60 vs unranked). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
