Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Taste at Free against Haptique's $1.99. Taste also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). Haptique's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and chart position (#49 vs unranked). On rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
