Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Doodle at 100% against Kortext's 17%. Doodle also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Kortext's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and chart position (#61 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
