Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Longa at weekly against Fast's every 2 months. Longa also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). Fast's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 62%) and ratings volume (3.3K vs 759). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
