Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Auguscope at 3.8 against DS's 2.1. Auguscope also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 17%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). DS's advantage is ratings volume (26 vs 4) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
