Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Signal Pro at none against Cell Towers's 3. Signal Pro also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Cell Towers's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
