Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Balansi at 100% against EKIMO's 41%. Balansi also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). EKIMO's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
