Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: INKT at 5.0 against EigenGauge's 3.8. INKT also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks). EigenGauge's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (32 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
