Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Anime ‧ at Free against Elvish's $1.99. Anime ‧ also leads on rating (3.8 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (332 vs 10). Elvish's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
