Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CheckTheReviews at none against Cinquo's 28. CheckTheReviews also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Cinquo's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (99 vs 18). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
