Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Optibra at none against SurfView's 9. Optibra also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). SurfView's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (32 vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
