Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MRE Pro at none against CorpsGuide's 3. MRE Pro also leads on ads (none vs shown). CorpsGuide's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (284 vs 1). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
