Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: EarthQuake+ at 4.6 against SIATA's 3.3. EarthQuake+ also leads on review sentiment (45% vs 17%) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 8). SIATA's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
