Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pip at 4.6 against iUSB's 2.8. Pip also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 24) and review sentiment (41% vs 25%). iUSB's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
