Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Gloss at 5.0 against Yodel App's 2.3. Gloss also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Yodel App's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 72 months) and ratings volume (198 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
