Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Starchive at none against Degoo's shown. Starchive also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (59% vs 40%). Degoo's advantage is ratings volume (9.5K vs 182) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
