Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: COVID Pulse at 100% against Fiat's 7%. COVID Pulse also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Fiat's advantage is ratings volume (215 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

COVID Pulse holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fiat has 215 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 7% of Fiat's written reviews are positive against 100% of COVID Pulse's.
