Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WebView Inspector at none against Araname's 1. WebView Inspector also leads on ads (none vs shown). Araname's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
