Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pickle Brine Lab at none against Kombucha Brew Tracker's 1. Pickle Brine Lab also leads on ads (none vs shown). Kombucha Brew Tracker's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
