The call

The clearest difference is ads: Match at none against Fruit Diary's shown. Match also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Fruit Diary's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 25 months) and ratings volume (2.7K vs 15). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
