Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Toyota at 4.8 against Gloworm Link's 3.6. Toyota also leads on ratings volume (885K vs 5) and chart position (#19 vs unranked). Gloworm Link's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
