Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Readefine at 5.0 against Squirrel's 4.6. Readefine also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 86%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Squirrel's advantage is ratings volume (16 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
