GliderKeeper is the management tool for glider pilots and competition organizers using AMRT altimeters. Connect to your device over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to: • Browse flight history — review all recorded flights with their time and altitude data, and analyze them on an interactive flight graph with slope measurement. • Live telemetry — view your altimeter's data in real time over Bluetooth. • Firmware updates — update your altimeter over-the-air (Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) directly from the app, downloading the latest versions from the cloud. On Windows you can also flash firmware over USB. • Automatic discovery — locate your device on the local network automatically, no IP configuration needed. • Device control — send control commands directly to the altimeter. Compatible with most FAI events. Additional feature: With the appropriate setup, the app can send flight results directly to GliderScore. Ask us! Feature currently in beta.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: AeroComps at every 2 weeks against GliderKeeper App's every 5 weeks. AeroComps also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
