Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GearsGarage at none against SolverPad's 1. GearsGarage also leads on ads (none vs shown). SolverPad's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
