Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ThruDark at none against PATRICKS's shown. PATRICKS's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
