Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: myORCA at 2.5 against Atmos Rewards's 1.4. myORCA also leads on review sentiment (15% vs 3%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Atmos Rewards's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
