Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Socorro Central at none against Locatometer's 1. Socorro Central also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). Locatometer's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 38 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
