The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flex Manuel at none against AnimalDex's 3. Flex Manuel also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). AnimalDex's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
