Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Emergency Reminder at free against GoBag+ Emergency Prep Kit's freemium. GoBag+ Emergency Prep Kit's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
