The clearest difference is rating: GPS Stone at 3.6 against TexaGPS™'s 1.0. GPS Stone also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). TexaGPS™'s advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 21 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TexaGPS™ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. GPS Stone asks for nothing beyond the download.
