Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: List Ease at 4.7 against Pet Trial's 3.0. List Ease also leads on ratings volume (54K vs 2). Pet Trial's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
