Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Giggster at none against Trusted Herd's shown. Giggster also leads on review sentiment (97% vs 70%). Trusted Herd's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (14K vs 2.1K). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
