Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iGulu at none against Abvi's 2. iGulu also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Abvi's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 67%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
