Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Paradigm at none against VOEZ's shown. Paradigm also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). VOEZ's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 268) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
