Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: FROST at 4.9 against Rain City's 4.0. FROST also leads on ratings volume (15K vs 72) and review sentiment (74% vs 51%). Rain City's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 24 months) and price ($1.99 vs $4.99). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
