Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: BDU at 5.0 against SIBNET's 3.7. BDU also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). SIBNET's advantage is review sentiment (20% vs 0%) and ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BDU holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SIBNET has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of SIBNET's written reviews are positive against 0% of BDU's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
