Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Gold Hinge at 97% against Dona Jo's 50%. Gold Hinge also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Dona Jo's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
