Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: GPS Tracker at none against Stigen's shown. GPS Tracker also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (52 vs 4). Stigen's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
