Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: White Nightmare at none against PocketPal's 4. White Nightmare also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). PocketPal's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 16 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
