Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: ResKit at Free against Prepware Instrument Pilot's $9.99. ResKit also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.6). Prepware Instrument Pilot's advantage is ratings volume (43 vs 1) and chart position (#58 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
