Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AFORS at none against PocketServer's 1. AFORS also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). PocketServer's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 6 months) and device support (4 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
