Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: IC References at every 2 months against SATFINDER BT DVB's every 13 months. IC References also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 11.0). SATFINDER BT DVB's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
IC References holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 2 respectively.
