Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: CE at 100% against CAT Scale Locator's 6%. CE also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). CAT Scale Locator's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (14 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
