Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Survanoid at 100% against Glides's 47%. Survanoid also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). Glides's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (564 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
