Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Stevedore at none against METBOY!'s shown. Stevedore also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 79%) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). METBOY!'s advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
