Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LinTech Beacon Konfigurator at none against Crabwise's 1. LinTech Beacon Konfigurator also leads on iOS requirement (12.2 vs 15.0). Crabwise's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
