Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Proof at none against Bartender's 2. Proof also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 20 months). Bartender's advantage is ratings volume (23 vs 3). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
