Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: RMControl at every 3 weeks against Lucid Base's every 9 months. Lucid Base's advantage is review sentiment (32% vs 10%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
