Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pythonica at 100% against Python+'s 75%. Pythonica also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.5). Python+'s advantage is ratings volume (48 vs 2) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
