Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TypeTab at none against OCaml's 3. TypeTab also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). OCaml's advantage is ratings volume (17 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
