Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Digext at 100% against Raindrop.io's 64%. Digext also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). Raindrop.io's advantage is ratings volume (422 vs 11) and iOS requirement (17.5 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
