Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Notchify at freemium against Icon Changer's subscription. Notchify also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 45%). Icon Changer's advantage is ratings volume (7.5K vs 11) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
