Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PadBot Stand at none against Chitin Avatar's 1. PadBot Stand also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 18.0). Chitin Avatar's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
