Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SquadUP at 87% against Checkinera's 38%. SquadUP also leads on ratings volume (26 vs 3). Checkinera's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 2.8) and iOS requirement (11.3 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Checkinera holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SquadUP has 26 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of SquadUP's written reviews are positive against 38% of Checkinera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
