Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pinyinize at none against AllBaseConvert's 1. Pinyinize also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 8 months). AllBaseConvert's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
