Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PaddleStack at none against Paddle + Par's shown. PaddleStack also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Paddle + Par's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and ratings volume (296 vs 12). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
