Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: St.Regis Residences at none against Sotheby's's shown. St.Regis Residences also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.4). Sotheby's's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
