Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Sherwin at 14K against Southern Utility's 15. Sherwin also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Southern Utility's advantage is iOS requirement (16.2 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
