Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Caffeine++ at 100% against Sonar's 68%. Caffeine++ also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Sonar's advantage is ratings volume (336 vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
