Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: i at 5.0 against Growlink's 1.8. i also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Growlink's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
