Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Simplot Advisor at every 3 weeks against Agworld Sampling's every 4 months. Simplot Advisor also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Agworld Sampling's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (61 vs 6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
