Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: URL Editor at 100% against Palm's 50%. URL Editor also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3). Palm's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and update cadence (daily vs every 3 months). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
