Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: The Program Suite at none against PKStat's shown. The Program Suite also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). PKStat's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
