Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: When at weekly against digi's every 4 months. When also leads on ratings volume (28 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). digi's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 90%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
