Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CYVIO at 100% against Botslab's 36%. CYVIO also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.7) and in-app purchases (none vs 24). Botslab's advantage is ratings volume (260 vs 7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
