Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ProClimb at none against Compass's 2. ProClimb also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 13 months). Compass's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
