Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cold Call at none against 青鬼's 2. 青鬼's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (24K vs 103). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

青鬼 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 青鬼 has 24K ratings behind it against 103, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of 青鬼's written reviews are positive against 74% of Cold Call's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
