Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Courtyard at Free against GigSteady_KC's $1.99. Courtyard also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 33%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.2). GigSteady_KC's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.0) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
