Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pondoff's Anonymous at none against Everything AA's 2. Pondoff's Anonymous also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Everything AA's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (74K vs 5). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
