Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cavalista at none against BarnMate Pro's 9. Cavalista also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). BarnMate Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
