Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: StableBit Cloud Notifications at none against picaroa's 3. StableBit Cloud Notifications also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.5). picaroa's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
