Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Insurgence StudiOS at free against RecDek's ad-supported. RecDek's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
