Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Compass Pro at none against Compass's 1. Compass Pro also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). Compass's advantage is ratings volume (35 vs 6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
