Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Designer Arm Candy at none against Siopaella's shown. Designer Arm Candy also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and ratings volume (31 vs 6). Siopaella's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
