Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AB1889 at 5.0 against YES Network's 3.9. AB1889 also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). YES Network's advantage is ratings volume (6.7K vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
