Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Diadu at none against Squirrel's 3. Diadu also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Squirrel's advantage is ratings volume (16 vs 3) and iOS requirement (14.1 vs 26.5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
