Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Autarky at 3.9 against iSVN's 2.3. Autarky also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 50%) and price ($0.99 vs $4.99). iSVN's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 12 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 18.6). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
