Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Carotenos at none against Acai Express's shown. Carotenos also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). Acai Express's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (8K vs 94). On price, rating and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
