Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ProgressBar95 at 4.8 against Pro Pinball's 3.2. ProgressBar95 also leads on review sentiment (93% vs 60%) and ratings volume (3K vs 56). Pro Pinball's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 12.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
