Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Heritage Auctions at 60% against WorthPoint's 8%. Heritage Auctions also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.1) and in-app purchases (none vs 6). WorthPoint's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#16 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
