This app utilizes the iPhone or iPad rear-facing LiDAR to generate a user-adjustable depth field (color gradient), along with a numerical distance value to the center of the field accurate up to 5 meters. Useful for measuring short distances without a tape measure and for navigating small spaces in the dark. NOTE: LiDAR hardware is only present on iPhone 12 Pro or later models, and iPad Pro 2020 or later models.
D2CTracker

D2C Tracker helps you explore Direct-to-Cell satellite coverage from your current location. View compatible satellites on an interactive 3D globe, sky dome, or horizon display. The app uses current orbital data, local terrain, RF geometry, and satellite motion to estimate which satellite is most likely to provide service. Features include: - Live 3D globe and local sky views - Likely serving-satellite estimates - Elevation, azimuth, range, Doppler, path-loss, and uplink estimates - Offline state terrain packs for line-of-sight modeling - Background location tracking and Live Activities - Data-freshness and terrain-coverage indicators - Optional low-traffic Internet link diagnostics - GPS and manual-location support - On-device orbital and terrain calculations D2C Tracker is independent software and is not affiliated with or endorsed by SpaceX, Starlink, any wireless carrier, or CelesTrak. Satellite identity, serving probability, RF performance, and connectivity quality are estimates, not modem-confirmed measurements and should not be used for navigation or safety-critical decisions.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: LiDAR Vision and Ranging at 3 against D2CTracker's 1. LiDAR Vision and Ranging also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
