Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: YI Home at 4.3 against MathBell's 3.0. YI Home also leads on ratings volume (72K vs 1) and chart position (#180 vs unranked). MathBell's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
