Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PILA EDUPlus at none against Chinese Pinyin LearningMachine's 1. PILA EDUPlus also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). Chinese Pinyin LearningMachine's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
