PlanetComm Dispatch Console, a visual dispatching system based on the PlanetComm system, with functions such as group calling, single calling, listening and viewing positioning, can provide companies with fast dispatching functions. Note: This application will continuously use GPS location services, and when switching to the background, it will still maintain GPS connection, which will consume more power than other operations and affect battery life.

The clearest difference is rating: PlanetComm at 5.0 against iDatabase's 4.4.

On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
