Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OneOhOne at none against Journey's 10. OneOhOne also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 81%). Journey's advantage is ratings volume (5.1K vs 3) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

OneOhOne holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Journey has 5.1K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of Journey's written reviews are positive against 100% of OneOhOne's.
