Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: inRoute at 76% against BatchGeo's 25%. inRoute also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). BatchGeo's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
