Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ABI Journal at none against Outside's 1. ABI Journal also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Outside's advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 1) and chart position (#129 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
