Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GoPass at 4.8 against Elo GPS's 2.3. GoPass also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 12%) and ratings volume (87K vs 146). Elo GPS's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
