Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Anytype at 64% against Code Review's 14%. Anytype also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (245 vs 4). Code Review's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (10.2 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
