Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Auto Agent at Free against Fox Marine's $4.99. Auto Agent also leads on ratings volume (42K vs 11) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). Fox Marine's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6). On update cadence, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
