Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Emojis DIY at free with in-app purchases against HitTips's subscription. Emojis DIY also leads on ratings volume (18K vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 18.1). HitTips's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 63%) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
