Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ranch Manager Pro at none against ShowGoat's 2. Ranch Manager Pro also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). ShowGoat's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
