Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: uStory at none against toongether's shown. uStory also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). toongether's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
