Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Seavee at 100% against Bento's 54%. Seavee also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1). Bento's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 7 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
