Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AstroDX at none against Paradigm's 10. AstroDX also leads on chart position (#198 vs unranked) and review sentiment (90% vs 81%). Paradigm's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (269 vs 43). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
