Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: iFixit at none against PC Tracker's shown. iFixit also leads on ratings volume (266 vs 4) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). PC Tracker's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
