Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: thingz at Free against LayOver S.N.'s $4.99. thingz also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 4 months). LayOver S.N.'s advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 58%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
