Verdict
The clearest difference is price: NavTutor at Free against Prepware ATP's $9.99. NavTutor also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 39%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Prepware ATP's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 54 months). On rating, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
