Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: ITM ID at fortnightly against Spireworks's every 2 months. ITM ID also leads on rating (3.8 vs 3.5) and review sentiment (67% vs 58%). Spireworks's advantage is ratings volume (136 vs 14). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
