Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: iWriter Pro at free against 24's paid. iWriter Pro also leads on ratings volume (132 vs 2). 24's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (18.5 vs 26). On price, ads, in-app purchases and chart position there is nothing between them.

iWriter Pro costs $2.99 and 24 $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
24 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iWriter Pro has 132 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
