Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Case Status at 45K against RECAP Uploader's 9. Case Status also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). RECAP Uploader's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 88%) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
