Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: A at none against Summatic's 9. A also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Summatic's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 16 months). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
