Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: polette at 74% against StantonOptical's 0%. polette also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). StantonOptical's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
