Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Academy Huddle at none against Sparrow's 10. Academy Huddle also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). Sparrow's advantage is ratings volume (3.6K vs 1) and chart position (#166 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
