Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Elsewhen at Free against LaunchDock's $1.99. Elsewhen also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). LaunchDock's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months) and chart position (#168 vs unranked). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
