Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: PIP Compass LT at 87% against Red Dead's 24%. PIP Compass LT also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Red Dead's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
