Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: A Better Inspector at 4.6 against WeldLens's 1.5. A Better Inspector also leads on ratings volume (18 vs 2). WeldLens's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
