Pick the octave, tap the note, and it plays a clean tone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Apple FM at none against SUS4 Pitch Pipe's 10. Apple FM also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). SUS4 Pitch Pipe's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
