Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Proggo at none against Korean's 2. Proggo also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Korean's advantage is ratings volume (3.4K vs 2) and device support (4 vs 1). On price and rating there is nothing between them.
