Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tabless at none against Search's 3. Tabless also leads on ratings volume (12 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.6). Search's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
