Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Charm at 4.7 against HAIRCODE's 1.0. Charm also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). HAIRCODE's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
