Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Eversource Energy at 50% against Xfinity's 9%. Eversource Energy also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.3) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Xfinity's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (1.4M vs 32K). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
