Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: DoorGuy at none against BarGO | Bloomington's shown. DoorGuy also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). BarGO | Bloomington's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (159 vs 25). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BarGO | Bloomington holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BarGO | Bloomington has 159 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of BarGO | Bloomington's written reviews are positive against 100% of DoorGuy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
