Verdict

The call

Addictive Accounting and Excel Exercises both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Addictive Accounting's written reviews are positive against 50% of Excel Exercises's. Addictive Accounting also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 4). Excel Exercises's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.1). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
