Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: plasticpay at free against Houzcall's free with in-app purchases. plasticpay also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 70%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Houzcall's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (54 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
