Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: RYOBI at 4.7 against MyToro's 1.6. RYOBI also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 122) and review sentiment (30% vs 8%). MyToro's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
