Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: GeoForager at 80% against MyODFW's 22%. GeoForager also leads on rating (4.3 vs 2.3) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). MyODFW's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (640 vs 23). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
