Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PRO at 100% against Direct's 59%. PRO also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.0). Direct's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (33 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
