Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ERS Mobile at 100% against Obra's 25%. ERS Mobile also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). Obra's advantage is ratings volume (104 vs 6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
