Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Pitloon at free against The ToolBox's free with in-app purchases. The ToolBox's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.5). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
