Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flamme Rouge Companion at none against TMB Reference Guide's 10. Flamme Rouge Companion also leads on ratings volume (44 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 26.0). TMB Reference Guide's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
