Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: IMPACT msg at none against Chingari's shown. IMPACT msg also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 60%). Chingari's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
