Verdict
FailArmy and PlateTag both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of PlateTag's written reviews are positive against 54% of FailArmy's. PlateTag also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). FailArmy's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 11). On price, rating and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
