Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: LocationNow at none against Location Finder's shown. LocationNow also leads on update cadence (every 8 months vs every 27 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Location Finder's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
