Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: We The Ravers at none against Letterboxd's 10. We The Ravers also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). Letterboxd's advantage is chart position (#18 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
