Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PingKit at 5.0 against nOversight WiFi Analyzer's 3.1. PingKit also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). nOversight WiFi Analyzer's advantage is ratings volume (21 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
