Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Hours at 4.6 against Toolr's 4.2. Hours also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 46%) and ratings volume (16K vs 358). Toolr's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
