Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Decoy Board at none against Crimpd's 3. Decoy Board also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). Crimpd's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (100 vs 6). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
