This application is targeted to Sierra Wireless Sales Team. You will be able to send data from your phone like GPS position, network Type, battery level and other data from a simulated object you can set to AirVantage Cloud. For security reasons, some data from your phone are simulated (i.e. MAC Address, Bytes Sent, Bytes Received, RSSI). Please be aware of this : Data are still pushed in background mode, the continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease your battery life.
WireDrop

Transfer files between iOS and macOS devices via USB cable. This can be useful in situations where other means of transferring files is not possible, such as, if you have WiFi or Bluetooth disabled. This app requires the installation of a Mac companion app, compatible with macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) and later. WireDrop will appear as a standard sharing option for Photos, Videos, and other file types. As long as you have the companion app active on your Mac, and USB cable connected, you will be able to transfer the files. Files are automatically saved to your Mac's Downloads folder.

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: AV Phone at 11.0 against WireDrop's 16.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
