Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flare Scratch at 66% against PitchMonitorPro's 33%. Flare Scratch also leads on ratings volume (71 vs 3).

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Flare Scratch costs $4.99 and PitchMonitorPro $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
PitchMonitorPro holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flare Scratch has 71 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Flare Scratch's written reviews are positive against 33% of PitchMonitorPro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Flare Scratch ships an update every 3 weeks, PitchMonitorPro every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
