Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SF ESS at 4.7 against TeleMapper 3's 2.7. SF ESS also leads on ratings volume (7.3K vs 49) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). TeleMapper 3's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 2%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SF ESS holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SF ESS has 7.3K ratings behind it against 49, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 2% of SF ESS's written reviews are positive against 33% of TeleMapper 3's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SF ESS ships an update every 3 weeks, TeleMapper 3 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
