Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pocket PSN at none against Joystickd's 2. Pocket PSN also leads on ratings volume (137 vs 4) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Joystickd's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
