Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sgala at 100% against Sahel's 31%. Sgala also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.9) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Sahel's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
