Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Graffiti Scanner at none against PocketPal AI's 10. PocketPal AI's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and chart position (#178 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
