Use it in the Alps, the Himalayas, or wherever your travels take you. Every mountain you capture is pinned on a map, building your own collection of peaks you've seen.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PeakID at none against o46scope's 1. PeakID also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). o46scope's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
