Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bozu at 100% against Optimum's 15%. Bozu also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). Optimum's advantage is ratings volume (29K vs 8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
