The clearest difference is rating: Spider Identifier Pro at 4.5 against Bug ID's 4.0. Spider Identifier Pro also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Bug ID's advantage is ratings volume (814 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bug ID sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Spider Identifier Pro sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
