Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TackBox at none against Equestrian App's 4. TackBox also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 81%). Equestrian App's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (73 vs 10). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
