Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CompEngine at 100% against Loke's 47%. CompEngine also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Loke's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and ratings volume (169 vs 25). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
