Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Ping at 4.3 against 7SIGNAL's 3.7. Ping also leads on ratings volume (377 vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). 7SIGNAL's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 3 months). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
