Verdict
The clearest difference is price: InstaPDF at Free against Onomastici's $0.99. InstaPDF also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.0) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 37 months). Onomastici's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
