The clearest difference is review sentiment: iDatabase at 52% against Database Pro.'s 4%. iDatabase also leads on price (Free vs $2.99) and rating (4.4 vs 3.0). Database Pro.'s advantage is chart position (#194 vs unranked) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

iDatabase is free to download; Database Pro. costs $2.99 up front. iDatabase sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Database Pro. sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
