Verdict
Navan and PADI both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 55% of PADI's written reviews are positive against 23% of Navan's. PADI also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). Navan's advantage is chart position (#93 vs unranked) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
