Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: solebox at 4.8 against Footpatrol's 4.2. solebox also leads on review sentiment (55% vs 22%) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Footpatrol's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (480 vs 103). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
