Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: My Tradewind at 5.0 against ACKTrails's 3.3. My Tradewind also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). ACKTrails's advantage is ratings volume (19 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
