Verdict
The clearest difference is price: PinoTech Orbit at Free against IoT MQTT Panel Pro's $12.99. PinoTech Orbit also leads on iOS requirement (13.6 vs 15.0). IoT MQTT Panel Pro's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 9 months) and chart position (#190 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
