Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SAR North East at none against Guidist's shown. SAR North East also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 63) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Guidist's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 21%) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
