Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Pocket,Ruler at Free against Ruler App XL's $0.99. Pocket,Ruler also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 14 months). Ruler App XL's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.6). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
