Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for 14ers.com against 5.0 for Sky Goat. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 14ers.com has 1.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
