Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Granate at none against Empathy's 6. Granate also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). Empathy's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 10) and update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
