Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Canopy at 4.8 against TaxDome's 3.9. Canopy also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 36%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). TaxDome's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
