Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: eGovPH at none against IC's 5. eGovPH also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and chart position (#160 vs unranked). IC's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
