Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: US Brew Passport at 100% against Craftapped's 55%. US Brew Passport also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 17 months). Craftapped's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (27 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
