Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sequence Decoder at none against STBY's 3. Sequence Decoder also leads on ratings volume (238 vs 2). STBY's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
