Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Warwick Castle at 4.7 against MiPermit's 4.3. MiPermit's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 10 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Warwick Castle holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 57 and 44 respectively.
