Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cyango at none against Tester's 6. Cyango also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.7). Tester's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks) and chart position (#113 vs unranked). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
