Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Trees PRO at $5.99 against iForest's $17.99. Trees PRO also leads on rating (4.0 vs 2.1) and ratings volume (32 vs 7). iForest's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 39 months) and review sentiment (49% vs 36%). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
