Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: C at 4.1 against NaviGates's 1.9. NaviGates's advantage is review sentiment (11% vs 0%) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.6). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
C holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 1.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 21 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of C's written reviews are positive against 11% of NaviGates's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
C ships an update every 4 months, NaviGates every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and August 16, 2026 respectively.
