Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Park Explore at 5.0 against TheftPatrol's 2.3. Park Explore also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). TheftPatrol's advantage is ratings volume (223 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 26.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
