Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: LEWKIN at 4.7 against JOLSE's 2.6. LEWKIN also leads on review sentiment (52% vs 15%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). JOLSE's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
