Verdict
The clearest difference is price: BrewRatio at Free against Single Origin's $0.99. BrewRatio also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 67%) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Single Origin's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 12 months) and chart position (#53 vs unranked). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
