Verdict
PurpleTie and Laundre both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Laundre's written reviews are positive against 75% of PurpleTie's. Laundre also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). PurpleTie's advantage is ratings volume (384 vs 5) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
