The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: i.Spider at none against Pair Away's 10. i.Spider also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). Pair Away's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 6 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
