Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Distance Tool at 4.4 against AgPlots's 3.8. Distance Tool also leads on ratings volume (2.2K vs 8) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 12 months). AgPlots's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
