Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Snowball Analytics at 90% against Backtest's 25%. Snowball Analytics also leads on rating (4.8 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (2.2K vs 4). Backtest's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and iOS requirement (9.1 vs 15.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
