Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Embagga at none against Google One's 13. Embagga also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Google One's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and chart position (#41 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
