Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Year Progress at none against Pattrn's shown. Year Progress also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Pattrn's advantage is ratings volume (929 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pattrn sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Year Progress sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Year Progress holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pattrn has 929 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
