Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Emlid Flow at every 10 days against SurveyingMaster's every 7 months. Emlid Flow also leads on rating (3.9 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (37 vs 2). SurveyingMaster's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
