Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tachimanga at 76% against MemberMe's 25%. Tachimanga also leads on rating (4.8 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (5.6K vs 1). MemberMe's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
