Verdict
Imvizar and Common Sense Media both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Imvizar's written reviews are positive against 60% of Common Sense Media's. Imvizar also leads on ads (none vs shown). Common Sense Media's advantage is ratings volume (9K vs 2). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
