Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 50Ohm at 82% against HamExam+'s 33%. 50Ohm also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 9). HamExam+'s advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (13 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
