Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: McGas Propane at none against Current Altitude's 1. McGas Propane also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 14 months). Current Altitude's advantage is ratings volume (19K vs 2). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
