Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Fieldwire at 4.8 against PipelineSuite's 4.0. Fieldwire also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (14K vs 4). PipelineSuite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
