Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RouterChat at none against Studio PDF's 1. RouterChat also leads on device support (4 vs 1). Studio PDF's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
