Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Cigarette Count at freemium against Quit Drinking's subscription.

Quit Drinking's advantage is ratings volume (4.3K vs 14) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
