Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Return to Dark Tower at none against Gloomhaven Campaign Tracker's 4. Return to Dark Tower also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 74%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). Gloomhaven Campaign Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 61) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Gloomhaven Campaign Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6.

Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Gloomhaven Campaign Tracker's written reviews are positive against 84% of Return to Dark Tower's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
