Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: DogPack at 87% against MySurrey's 31%. DogPack also leads on rating (4.8 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months). MySurrey's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
