Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Digext at 100% against Sofa's 60%. Digext also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Sofa's advantage is ratings volume (3.1K vs 12) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
