Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chains at none against One's 1. Chains also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 26 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). One's advantage is ratings volume (401 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
