Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: I Never at Free against Hitstalt's $1.99. I Never also leads on rating (4.3 vs 2.7) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). Hitstalt's advantage is chart position (#104 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
