Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ATD Central at 5.0 against Advance Professional's 3.0. ATD Central also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Advance Professional's advantage is ratings volume (28 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
