The clearest difference is ratings volume: Shot Pattern at 2.1K against GPS Range Finder's 1. Shot Pattern also leads on chart position (#163 vs unranked) and device support (4 vs 1). GPS Range Finder's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shot Pattern sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and GPS Range Finder sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 6 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
