Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Stitchout at 4.3 against Aurifil's 2.0. Stitchout also leads on update cadence (every 10 months vs every 33 months). Aurifil's advantage is ratings volume (14 vs 4) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
