Verdict

The call

Sometime and Listy both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 87% of Sometime's written reviews are positive against 60% of Listy's. Sometime also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.6). Listy's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (485 vs 76). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
