Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Eklan at Free against NavsTMS's $4.99. Eklan also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). NavsTMS's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and chart position (#188 vs unranked). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
