Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Compass at none against Random Compass's 1. Compass also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.2). Random Compass's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 109 months). On price there is nothing between them.
