Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: FOX Bike at 100% against GPS Ally+'s 16%. FOX Bike also leads on rating (4.2 vs 2.7). GPS Ally+'s advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
