The call

The clearest difference is price: Ratios at Free against LaunchDock's $1.29. Ratios also leads on iOS requirement (10.3 vs 18.0). LaunchDock's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 71%). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
