Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PSA at 57% against Pipefitter App's 0%. PSA also leads on price (Free vs $9.99) and rating (4.8 vs 3.5). Pipefitter App's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 16.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
