Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Planetary Compass at Free against BPM Master's $0.99. Planetary Compass also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 6 weeks). BPM Master's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
