Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Subscriptions Manager at every 4 days against Plu's every 3 months. Plu's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 64%) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
