Verdict

The call

Billey and Subscriptions both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 87% of Subscriptions's written reviews are positive against 30% of Billey's. Subscriptions also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (169 vs 13). Billey's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
