Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Sip at 5.0 against CELLR's 4.4. Sip also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 62%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). CELLR's advantage is ratings volume (72 vs 2) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
