Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Flo by Moen™ at Free against GLADmate's $1.99. Flo by Moen™ also leads on ratings volume (1.9K vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.1). GLADmate's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
