Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ensemble Jammer at none against Aquadrum Pro's 1. Ensemble Jammer also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Aquadrum Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
