Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: App ICON Changer at free with in-app purchases against Icon Theme's subscription. App ICON Changer also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and review sentiment (52% vs 24%). Icon Theme's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
