Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OasisPlus at none against GPS Tools®'s 10. OasisPlus also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (13.2 vs 15.1). GPS Tools®'s advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (339 vs 5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
