Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Locals.com at 53% against IVPS Tour's 4%. Locals.com also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.2) and ratings volume (42K vs 321). IVPS Tour's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
