Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ICVNL at 4.8 against Access's 2.3. ICVNL also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 9) and review sentiment (57% vs 36%). Access's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
