Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Setlists! at none against Concert Archives's 4. Setlists! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Concert Archives's advantage is ratings volume (984 vs 1). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
