Verdict

The call

Avantis OneMix and Show Mix both sit at 2.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Show Mix's written reviews are positive against 50% of Avantis OneMix's. Show Mix also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 16 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
