Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: myGMC at 4.8 against WhereSafe GPS's 1.0. myGMC also leads on ratings volume (439K vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). WhereSafe GPS's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
