Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AWU2UDDF at none against DiveCore's 3. AWU2UDDF also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). DiveCore's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 14 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
