Verdict
The clearest difference is price: DMS Converter at Free against No BS GPS's $0.99. DMS Converter also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 48 months). No BS GPS's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and rating (4.0 vs 3.6). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
