Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Tally at none against Progress's shown. Tally also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 weeks). Progress's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 60%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
