Why it matters
No computer needed
Dr.Fone drives a tethered iPhone from a computer. PinDrift adds an app on the phone, in every paid plan: install it once, then the iPhone holds and moves its location with the computer off.
Pay once, not forever
Dr.Fone has no lifetime licence, so the bill keeps coming. PinDrift sells one: pay once and keep it.
