Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: mySet at none against ShowWire's 4. mySet also leads on ratings volume (55 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). ShowWire's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
