Deploy Pro is designed as an app with CERT teams in mind but can be used by any search and rescue team or other first responders.The map feature allows users to see pins (user locations) and markers (locations set by users) in the area they are responding to. There are 30 different user pins, making it easy to designate team colors and 20 shareable map markers that users can place on the map to designate important locations. The map markers are grouped into 5 categories: Hazards, Command, Victims, Damage, Search X. Markers by default are set to the user's location, but can also be manually placed by dragging the map, or typing in an address. Users can add notes to markers and also share the lat/long with other users if needed. The reference guide is sourced from the FEMA Basic CERT course, and it includes all the information that might be needed when in the field, in addition to other relevant topics like Knots and Hazmat markings. The app also includes a triage counter to track victim counts by triage color, a built-in camera for damage reports, and a notepad to store information and share with other users.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Deploy Pro at 4.9 against Empire City's 3.0. Deploy Pro also leads on ratings volume (14 vs 2). Empire City's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
