Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: eCompendium App at none against Travel Mate's 3. eCompendium App also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.6). Travel Mate's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
