Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Avenue at 4.9 against Select Global's 1.5. Avenue also leads on review sentiment (49% vs 7%) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 11). Select Global's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
