Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: INKBIRD at none against Antique Identifier's 2. INKBIRD also leads on device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). Antique Identifier's advantage is update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
