Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Fathom Radar at 5.0 against PedApp's 3.6. Fathom Radar also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 8 months). PedApp's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
