Verdict

The call

Letterboxd and Tickr Ltd both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Tickr Ltd's written reviews are positive against 59% of Letterboxd's. Tickr Ltd also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 16) and ads (none vs shown). Letterboxd's advantage is ratings volume (88K vs 6) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
