The clearest difference is rating: Inventory Bot at 4.4 against Restock Pulse's 4.0. Inventory Bot also leads on ratings volume (211 vs 4) and device support (4 vs 2). Restock Pulse's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Inventory Bot sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Restock Pulse sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
