Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Appaloo Equestrian at 92% against Global Champions's 18%. Appaloo Equestrian also leads on iOS requirement (14.0.0 vs 17.0). Global Champions's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
