Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Tidle at Free against Doo's $4.99. Tidle also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 55%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.4). Doo's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (39 vs 4). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
