The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SportDiver at none against DiveClick's 2. SportDiver also leads on ratings volume (220 vs 4). DiveClick's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.6). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
