Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: IGOTIN at 54% against Thread's 0%. IGOTIN also leads on ratings volume (2.4K vs 12) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). Thread's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
