Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: GhostZone at 100% against Urbex's 10%. GhostZone also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 11) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 16.0). Urbex's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (119 vs 8). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Urbex sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. GhostZone asks for nothing beyond the download.
Urbex holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Urbex has 119 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of GhostZone's written reviews are positive against 10% of Urbex's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
