Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Jackknife at 100% against Frigidaire's 17%. Jackknife also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Frigidaire's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (14K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
