Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Actions at 516 against Depth's 1. Actions also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months). Depth's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
