The Infinity ID2 the most advanced 2 wire system on the market. Each device is given a unique ID so in the event of a fire or fault the exact device that triggered the event will be shown. The ID of each device is configured by setting a dip switch contained within all devices. This Infinity ID2 app allows users to easily calculate the dip switch settings by simply specifying the zone, device number and device type. The corresponding switch settings are then graphically displayed so they can easily be copied over to the device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Infinity ID2 at none against StandbyCalc's 1. Infinity ID2 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 17.0). StandbyCalc's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 18 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
