Verdict
The clearest difference is price: SunCalc.net at Free against Optidrive AI's $1.99. SunCalc.net also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 27.0). Optidrive AI's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
