Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: DealerBundle at free against CL7's free with in-app purchases. DealerBundle also leads on iOS requirement (13 vs 15.5.0). CL7's advantage is rating (2.3 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (76 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
