Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Lexus at 333K against Ruth Lake's 2. Lexus also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months) and chart position (#170 vs unranked). Ruth Lake's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
