Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ICYPAA App at none against OpenRecovery's 1. ICYPAA App also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 89%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). OpenRecovery's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 31 months). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
