Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Guidebook at 5.0 against Radical's 4.5. Guidebook also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Radical's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
