Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ENYO at 4.7 against Sembl's 4.2. ENYO also leads on ratings volume (436 vs 21) and review sentiment (84% vs 74%). Sembl's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
