Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BarMaker at 5.0 against PanTa's 3.8. BarMaker also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). PanTa's advantage is ratings volume (806 vs 1) and review sentiment (25% vs 14%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

BarMaker costs $0.99 and PanTa $0.99 up front. PanTa sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. BarMaker asks for nothing beyond the download.
BarMaker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PanTa has 806 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of BarMaker's written reviews are positive against 25% of PanTa's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BarMaker ships an update every 6 days, PanTa every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
