Verdict

The call

Phyn and Tuttokool both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Tuttokool's written reviews are positive against 52% of Phyn's. Tuttokool also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Phyn's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 22 months) and ratings volume (2.7K vs 56). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
