Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ArrowMetrics at none against Instinct Scoring's 4. ArrowMetrics also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Instinct Scoring's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
