Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Pedora at Free against Walking Locus Plus's $0.99. Pedora also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). Walking Locus Plus's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
