Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: OnlyDrams at Free against Whisky Rating's $1.99. OnlyDrams also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months) and chart position (#21 vs #178). Whisky Rating's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
