Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Haystack at none against Video Production Planner's 3. Haystack also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). Video Production Planner's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
