Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: i at none against SalonAdMaker's 2. i also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). SalonAdMaker's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
