Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gift Tree at none against addy.io's 3. Gift Tree also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). addy.io's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (72 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
