Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Compass at 4.1 against Compass Plus's 1.0. Compass also leads on ratings volume (15 vs 2). Compass Plus's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (67% vs 50%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Compass holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Compass has 15 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Compass Plus's written reviews are positive against 50% of Compass's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
