Verdict

The call

Boostcamp and JustGains both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of JustGains's written reviews are positive against 60% of Boostcamp's. JustGains also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). Boostcamp's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 26) and chart position (#160 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
