Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ARK ALL at 4.3 against CTM Buddy's 2.5. ARK ALL also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). CTM Buddy's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and ratings volume (26 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
