Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lanyard Event Badges at none against Mechanical Engineering Toolkit's 1. Lanyard Event Badges also leads on ads (none vs shown). Mechanical Engineering Toolkit's advantage is device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
