Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Maintenance Pro Web at 4.3 against Directive's 3.7. Maintenance Pro Web also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 61%) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). Directive's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (36 vs 6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
