Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sequence Decoder at none against Layoverly's 4. Sequence Decoder also leads on ratings volume (241 vs 8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Layoverly's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
