Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: RecDek at 5.0 against FYCit's 3.7. RecDek also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 70%) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). FYCit's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and ratings volume (48 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
