Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: My GPS Coordinates ° at Free against Solocator's $0.99. My GPS Coordinates ° also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). Solocator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (56% vs 40%). On in-app purchases, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
