Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pose Director at none against LocalTavern's 1. Pose Director also leads on iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.4). LocalTavern's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 months) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
