Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Metadata Pro at 3.8 against EXIF Tool's 3.5. Metadata Pro also leads on ratings volume (127 vs 6) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). EXIF Tool's advantage is price ($2.99 vs $3.99) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
