Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: i at none against i's shown. i also leads on rating (2.1 vs 1.9) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). i's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 11.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
