Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bussola Express at none against Compass Guide's 1. Bussola Express also leads on ads (none vs shown). Compass Guide's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
