Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Socket at 4.9 against Odometer's 3.0. Socket also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (17 vs 2). Odometer's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
