Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Square at weekly against Prism Dashboard's every 15 months. Square also leads on ratings volume (3.5K vs 1). Prism Dashboard's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
