Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cerule at none against Boards.com's 30. Cerule also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 17.0). Boards.com's advantage is ratings volume (21K vs 5) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
