What is different between the iPhone, iPad and Mac versions?
Short answer
The engine, the library and the features are the same on all three, and one Pro subscription covers them together. The differences are the layout, a few iPhone-only extras like the Watch companion and Car Mode, and the free tier: the Mac has no advertising at all, so its allowances are daily instead of earned.

Nothing is held back as a platform exclusive to sell an upgrade: the reason the Mac column differs is that the Mac build links no advertising SDK, so there is no rewarded video to earn an allowance with.
An iPhone or iPad app running on an Apple silicon Mac follows the Mac rules, for the same reason.
