Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: My at 90% against CBEBirr Plus's 14%. My also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.2) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 134). CBEBirr Plus's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
