Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Eshqi at none against 22SIM's shown. Eshqi also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (89% vs 79%). 22SIM's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
