Verdict
OPTIMAL and HeatScore App both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of HeatScore App's written reviews are positive against 64% of OPTIMAL's. HeatScore App also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days). OPTIMAL's advantage is ratings volume (8.4K vs 13) and chart position (#98 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
