Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: eaglesync at none against Niche's shown. eaglesync also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.4). Niche's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 4) and chart position (#148 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.1 for Niche against 4.3 for eaglesync. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Niche has 1.4K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
