Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Ivy at none against RotoGO+'s shown. RotoGO+'s advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 10). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ivy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and RotoGO+ sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
