Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: ArrangeUs at none against Castograph's shown. ArrangeUs also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.2). Castograph's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
